A source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, during December, 1967, advised as follows:
During November, 1967, a document prepared by the Central Committee, Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), considered highly confidential, entitled, "Soviet Assistance to the National Liberation Movement,” was circulated among the visiting delegations of the Communist and Workers Parties to the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the October Revolution held in Moscow, USSR.
Set forth below are the contents of this document:
The anti-imperialist and socio-class struggle has grown stronger in the national liberation zone, notwithstanding the difficulties which have recently emerged in developing countries in view of the sharpening of internal contradictions and greater pressure exerted on them by imperialism.
Throughout the fifty years of its history, the Soviet Union has been steadfastly pursuing a policy of rendering the utmost assistance to the forces of national liberation in their struggle against imperialism and for freedom and Social progress. The CPSU regards the fraternal alliance with peoples that have Shaken off the political oppression of imperialism as a corner- stone of its foreign policy. It renders its utmost assistance

to the newly~free countries with the purpose of strengthening
their national statehood, promoting all-round cooperation with them on the basis of equality, strict respect for sovereignty, and non-interference in their internal affairs, and abolishing the last seats of colonialism and racism in the world.
The CPSU's policy of rendering comprehensive support to the forces of national liberation springs from the very nature of our socialist state, which is profoundly hostile to oppression of all kinds. From an understanding of the comnunity of vital interests of world socialism and the world national liberation movement, our Party holds that the national liberation movement is one of the major fronts of the worldwide struggles against imperialism and that the prospects of social progress of the peoples in the countries which have discarded the colonial yoke and of all mankind will largely depend on What road these coun- tries take and which system they follow-~socialism or capitalism,
The CPSU steadfastly pursues the line of giving utmost support to the countries which engage in a struggle against imperialism and colonialism, especially those which have embarked on the non-capitalist path of development. These countries must not again become imperialist prey. As regards countries that have won independence but are following the capitalist road, we strive to help them consolidate their national independence, sustain the anti-imperialist trends in their policy and help the democratic progressive and revolutionary forces in them, In their relations with the developing countries, the CPSU and the Soviet Government act on the principle that our coopera- tion with these countries must strengthen the common anti-imperialist front, consolidate the forces of socialism and progress, strike the final blow at colonialism and promote the victory of national democratic revolutions.
The 23rd Congress of the CPSU and subsequent plenary meetings of the Central Committee of our Party have further demonstrated the immutability of the political line of the CPSU and the Soviet Government aimed at giving the utmost support for the struggle of the peopies for social and national emancipation and the strengthening of the independence of the young national
states. -2- COPEL

An important objective of the current Soviet five- year plan for 1966-70, the directives for which had been endorsed by the 23rd Congress of the CPSU, is to promote economic cooperation with the developing countries by increasing trade and economic and technical cooperation with them in order to strengthen their independent national economy.
True to its internationalist duty, the Soviet Union is giving the forces of national liberation moral, political, and economic assistance and, when necessary, military aid, and heips the young national states to strengthen their defense capacity.
Regarding moral and political support, the emergence of the world's first socialist state gave a mighty stimulus to the national liberation movement on a worldwide basis. The triumph of the great October Revolution marked the beginning of the crisis of the colonial system of imperialism. The up~ surge of the national Liberation movement after October, 1917, was closely linked with the support of the Soviet Union and world socialism. The militant alliance of the socialist countries and all anti-imperialist forces has become a key factor of interna- tional politics.
The Soviet Union resolutely champions the right of nations to seif-determination and denounces the attempts of the imperialist states to pursue an aggressive policy in relation to other countries, a policy involving the seizure of foreign territory and the enslavement of the peoples inhabiting that territory. Recognition of the right of peoples to set up their own independent national state is one of the basic principles of Soviet policy and its contribution to the practice of interna- tional relations.
Soviet support for the peoples fighting for national liberation is expressed, first and foremost, in a consistent diplomatic struggle in the exposure of the colonialists and in the mobilization of world opinion in defense of the oppressed nations. On Soviet initiative, the 15th United Nations (UN) General Assembly adopted a declaration on granting independence to colonial countries and peoples.

.
The Soviet Union has resolutely opposed imperialist interference in the internal affairs of the young national states and the attempts of the new colonialists to engineer conflicts between the independent states and exhaust their strength in internecine struggle, It seeks to help the peoples of these countries to settle the outstanding issues dividing them, which they inherited from colonial days, and to unite in the struggle against imperialism. Soviet mediation which led to the cessation of the fratricidal war and to the signing of the Tashkent agreement between the governments of India and Pakistan has won the warm approval of broad circles in the Afro-Asian countries.
While advocating the strengthening of the anti- imperialist unity of the peoples of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, the Soviet Union vigorously supports all efforts in this direction, in particular, Soviet representatives are active in the Afro-Asian and Tri-Continental Solidarity Movements.
in recent years the imperialists, chiefly those of the USA, have activated their aggressive designs in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. United States aggression against the Vietnamese people is one of the main links of this imperialist policy which is menacing world peace. While rendering extensive and many-sided assistance to the people of Vietnam, the Soviet Union, together with ali peace-loving nations of the world, emphatically demands an end to United States aggression against that country and the withdrawal from it of all interventionist troops.
The Soviet Union exposes the crafty plans of the imperi- alists to obstruct the liberation of peoples and reverse the wheel of history by instigating local wars and counterrevolutionary coups by bringing economic, political and military pressure to bear on them, This stand of the CPSU and the Soviet Government was convincingly demonstrated during the recent Israeli aggression in the Middle East.
On many important international issues the Soviet Union successfully cooperates with the independent states of Asia and Africa. Particularly close and friendly relations have been established with young states that have taken the road to socialism.

The experience of non-capitalist development accumulated by
the central Asian republics of the USSR and by the Mongolian People's Republic may be of great interest to countries like
the United Arab Republic (UAR), Algeria, Syria, Mali, Guinea, Congo (Brazzaville), Tanzania, and Burma. The Soviet Union Willingly shares this experience with Asian and African coun- tries following the road of social progress. The further these _countries move towards the goal selected by them, the more many~ Sided, profound and stable become our relations with them.
The relations of the CPSU with the revolutionary- democratic parties of the African and Asian countries have been growing stronger in recent years. The CPSU attaches great signi- ficance to contacts on Party level with the young independent states that have chosen the non-capitalist road of development and with the revolutionary-democratic parties ruling these coun- tries. The CPSU is establishing contacts with the leaders of these parties and countries. In the talks with them attmtion is constantly drawn to themed for uniting in these countries all the progressive forces and all the adherents of socialism and for an advanced revolutionary party that would enjoy the support of the masses and function on the basis of scientific socialism,
The CPSU maintains various forms of relations and con- tacts with the revolutionary-democratic parties of Asia and Africa, attendance at party congresses, exchanges of party dele- gations to study organizational and ideological work, and the training of party cadres at special educational establishments of the Soviet Union as well as on the spot with the assistance of Soviet instructors, At the request of the revolutionary~ democratic parties of a number of countries, the CPSU systemati- cally sends to these countries Marxist literature, helps them compile textbooks and other materials facilitating the spread of Marxist-Leninist theory. Work with revolutionary-democratic parties requires a great deal of effort and has a number of difficulties, but it is already yielding results. In particular,
it is to a large extent helping gradually to overcome anti-communist
sentiments in a number of Asian and African countries that are advancing along the road of social progress.

Regarding economic and technical cooperation of the USSR with the newly-free countries of Asia and Africa, in its economic relations with the young national states of Asia and Africa, the Soviet Union actively supports their desire to develop and strengthen the state sector, boost economic planning, promote industrialization and build up a diversified economy. Qur economic relations with these countries is a powerful help for the anti~imperialist and progressive forces of young inde- pendent states.
Soviet economic aid to developing countries is in-~ plemented through economic and technical cooperation and help in the training of personnel and foreign trade.
The scale of Soviet technical and economic assistance to young Afro-Asian national states is steadily growing. The Soviet Union has now economic cooperation agreements with 33 developing countries, Total commitments to these countries exceed 5,000 million rubles; of this sum, 3,400 million rubles are designated for Asian countries and more than 1,600 million rubles for African countries. The agreements cover Soviet assis- tance in the building and enlargement of about 600 industrial and agricultural enterprises and other projects in various branches ΟΥ the economy of the Asian and African countries,
Technical aid to developing countries involves design- ing and surveying by Soviet organizations, deliveries of complete sets of equipment and necessary materials, the sending of Specialists to assist in construction work, the assembly and installation of equipment, the commissioning of projects and organizing production, and the training of citizens of these countries to work at the completed projects,
Over 70% of Soviet technical assistance to developing countries is allocated for the building of state industries including power engineering industries; more than half of this aid is channeled into the building of heavy industries (iron and steel, engineering, chemical, mining, etc.).
In Asian and African countries where the economy is most backward, assistance, in accordance with requests of their governments, is rendered primarily in the building of processing, manufacturing, light and food, transport, etc., in order to achieve the speediest satisfaction of the pressing needs of the population and ensure quicker economic returns.

CPSU DOCUMENT ENTITLED, "SOVIET ASSISTANCE CO TIAL TO THE NATIONAL LIBERATION MOVEMENT" .
With Soviet assistance, developing countries have built or are building more than 40 engineering and metal- working plants, some 20 chemical factories and oil refineries, more than 20 iron and steel and non-ferrous complexes, plants and shops, about 30 power stations (not counting the power stations at factories), about 70 Light and food industry enter- prises, and more than 100 agricultural projects (state farms, Livestock breeding farms, machine-hire stations, etc.). With Soviet help, Asian and African countries are also building medical and pharmaceutical enterprises, atomic reactors, high- ways, railways, dams, irrigation canals, bridges, ports, grain elevators, radio stations, educational establishments, etc.
Soviet assistance in surveying, studying, and tapping natural resources is of great importance to economic develop- ment in the young sovereign states. The enterprises that have been built or are under construction in developing countries with Soviet aid and technical assistance put out annually nearly 7,000,000 tons of steel, 9,200,000 tons of coal, over 8,000,000 tons of oil products, about 150,000 tons of metallurgical mining, forge and press and hoisting and transportation equipment, over 260,000 tons of fertilizer, 210,000 tons of cement, 70 million metres of cotton fabrics, .100,000 radio sets, 40,000 television sets, etc. The rated capacity of the power stations being built with Soviet cooperation totals about 6 million kilowatts.
About 240 enterprises and other projects built with Soviet assistance have been commissioned,
The Soviet Union is also extending considerable assistance to young Asian and African states, granting the long term credits on favorable terms; most of Soviet technical assistance is paid for by these credits. Total Soviet economic credits to Afro-Asian states exceed 4,000 million rubles.
Under the terms of these credits, the recipient coun- tries can repay the principal from part of the revenues furnished by the enterprises built with Soviet assistance. As a rule, credits are repaid in equal annual installments after the com- missioning of an enterprise or one to three years after the delivery of complete sets of equipment for each enterprise.
The foreign trade interests of the recipient countries are taken into consideration in the redemption of the credits, as a rule they are repaid by deliveries of traditional expor oods.

Besides credits, the USSR has extended about 170 million rubles worth of free assistance to some developing countries for the building of hospitals and educational establishments,
More than 35,000 Soviet scientists, engineers, technicians, and skilled workers were sent to help developing Asian and African countries design and build factories, assemble, install and put into operation equipment, prospect for minerals, and render other forms of technical assistance; in 1967 over 7,000 Soviet technical specialists worked in these countries, In addition to rendering technical assistance,
Soviet specialists help to train national personnel for the enterprises under construction in these countries. In the past several years alone Soviet specialists have helped train more
than 120,000 skilled workers and technicians directly in developing countries. For example, while the Bhilai iron and steel works
was under construction more than 10,000 Indian technicians and skilled workers were trained. In India they have also trained some 10,000 oilmen. About 12,000 skilled workers and foremen
have already been trained at the Aswan High Dam project. At
the projects under construction in Afghanistan, Soviet specialists have trained nearly 40,000 Afghans in various trades,
The training of personnel at educational establish- ments built in developing countries with Soviet cooperation is acquiring increasing importance. At present some 100 educa- tional establishments are under construction or being set up in these countries, They include institutes, vocational, technical and secondary schools and educational centers. Over half of them are already fruitfully functioning; for example, the Bombay Technological Institute in India, the Khmer-Soviet Friendship Higher Technical Institute in Cambodia, the Rangoon Technological Institute in Burma, the Polytechnic in Guinea, the oil and gas institute and the oil technical school in Algeria, the technical institute in Ethiopia, and the educational centers in the UAR, Iraq, Mali, and other countries,
National personnel for the developing countries are also being trained at factories, offices, research institutes, and educational establishments in the Soviet Union, Foreign specialists and workers are given technical training directly at more than 150 leading Soviet factories. Some of these factories have regularly functioning educational centers with

all the necessary instructional and methodological aids. The Soviet Union has to date enrolled more than 23,000 people for production~technical training from developing countries, and approximately 17,000 of them have already received various industrial and agricultural vocations. In 1966 alone more than 420 people from these countries were enrolled for technical training in the USSR; in addition, thousands of undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as trainees from Asian, African, and Latin-American countries, are studying at Soviet institutions of higher learning. At present, there are more than 11,000 people from these countries studying at Soviet higher and specialized secondary schools.
Specialists from the developing countries are re~ ceiving training at Soviet educational establishments, factories, and offices free of charge. Moreover, scholarships are paid to them by the Soviet Union. The Soviet Government allocates considerable funds for the training of these specialists, spending nearly 2,000 rubles a year on each student from the developing countries,
Regarding Soviet trade with the developing countries, trade with the Soviet Union and other socialist countries plays a substantial part in promoting the independence of the young sovereign states; economic relations with the USSR and other Socialist countries have enabled the developing countries to put an end to the imperialist power monopoly of many commodity markets. Based on reciprocal benefit and equality, trade with the USSR gives the liberated countries a sound foundation in their struggle against imperialist economic domination,
Prior to the second worid war the Soviet Union traded with only a few of the countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Today, the USSR trades with 61 developing countries in these three continents, having concluded interstate trade and payments, including long-term agreements, with 42 of them. These 61 countries account for more than 85% of the population of all the developing states.
The Soviet Union trades with these countries on terms that are favorable for them. The cash receipts from the sale

The USSR delivers plants to the developing coun- tries of Asia and Africa on favorable terms, granting them long-term state credits. For example, in the period 1961-66, commercial credits totaling 294,400,000 rubles were granted for terms of up to 5-8 years and in some cases up to 10 years to pay for deliveries of Soviet machines and complete sets of plants,
Regarding Soviet military aid, in fulfillment of its internationalist duty, the Soviet Union is rendering substantial and all-round aid to many young national states. in Asia and Africa with the purpose of strengthening their defense capacity, and also sends armaments and material to the national patriotic forces of South Vietnam and a number of African countries fighting against imperialism. Soviet military aid includes deliveries of armaments, the sending of Soviet military experts, and the training of military cadres in the USSR,
The Soviet Union supplies Asian and African countries with naval vessels, planes, helicopters, tanks, self-propelled guns, armored troop carriers, and other military vehicles, artillery, rocket systems, machine guns, mortars, grenade throwers, rifles, radar systems, radio transmitters and receivers, parachutes, uniforms and field equipment, In addition, the Soviet Union supplies them with the ammunition, including rockets as well as spare parts. It also delivers large quantities of equipment for airfields, field hospitals, etc. Assistance is rendered in the building of repair shops, training centers, and other projects, The Soviet Union has turned over to some Asian and African countries various technical documentation of a military nature.
soviet military aid to young national anti-imperialist states of Asia and Africa is granted on favorable terms. No payment is taken for a considerable portion of the military deliveries, while a certain quantity is supplied under lone~ term credits,
All Soviet armaments for the patriotic forces of Asia and Africa fighting for national independence are supplied, free of charge, through friendly independent Afro-Asian countries.

of Soviet goods in these countries are used mainly for the purchase of goods from their traditional export list. Thus, the developing countries buy the goods required by them in the Soviet Union without spending hard currency.
During the past 12 years, Soviet foreign trade in-~ creased 160% while trade with the developing countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America increased 570%,
Trade with the Soviet Union accounts for a substantial portion of.the foreign trade of India, the UAR, Afghanistan, Syria, Mali, Guinea, and other countries, In 1966, the Soviet Union bought from India 63% of her wool exports, nearly 57% of hide exports, nearly 50% of footwear exports, 38% of coffee exports, 31% of her pepper exports, and large quantities of tea, jute, jute products, and cotton fabrics. Afghanistan sells the Soviet Union nearly 80% of her wool exports, over 40% of her raisin exports, etc.
Purchases in the Soviet Union occupy a major place in the imports of these countries, Afghanistan, for example, purchases a large part of her sugar, up to 80% of oil products, more than 70% of machines and plants, and nearly 30% of her metal and metal articles from the Soviet Union.
Trade with the USSR and other socialist countries is helping.the developing countries to salve vital post- liberation problems such as building up an independent national economy through industrialization, rapidly increasing the out- put of various raw materials and foodstuffs, and carrying out economic development plans, Trade with the USSR and other socialist countries brings the developing countries modern, industrial plants and the raw and other materials necessary to build up the national industry,
Much of the Soviet export list to developing countries of Asia and Africa consists of machines and equipment and these largely satisfy the requirements of many of these countries,
For example, in 1966, 73% of the Soviet deliveries to Somalia consisted of machines and plants, to Afghanistan more than 60%, to India 60%, to the UAR 65%, and to Guinea 57%.

Ὅροι his return from the last Solo Mission, CG 5824-S* advised that during the course of his discussions in Moscow, USSR, with MIKHAIL POLONIK, KGB officer in charge of the Solo apparatus, the subject had once again been raised concerning publication of the informant's name in a book published by the United States Government. CG 5824~5* immediately supposed that POLONIK was making reference to the publication entitled "COMMUNIST PARTY, USA -- SOVIET PAWN," published by the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, concerning which there has been previous correspondence between the Bureau and the field. CG 5824-S5*, therefore, told POLONIK that the contents of that document were known to him and that it is all "old stuff" and was no cause for eoncern. According to CG@ 5824-S*, POLONIK did not seen my satisfied and continued to express concern that the informant's name had been published in such a document even though the subject matter was a number of years old,
CG 5824-S* stated that subsequent to his discussions with POLONIK, this same subject was raised by GUS HALL, General Secretary, CP, USA, and JAMES JACKSON, member of the National Executive Board and Chairman of the International Affairs Department of the CP, USA. At this point, it became apparent to the informant that these individuals and POLONIK were referring to a publication of either the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee or the House Committee on Un-American Activities which had been made public subsequent to the publication of "COMMUNIST PARTY, USA -- SOVIET PAWN." CG 5824~-S* stated that JAMES JACKSON had a copy of the booklet in his possession but the informant did not have an OP Por rant τ to observe the title nor the contents thereof.

The following information was furnished by a source which has supplied reliable information in the past.
The Communist Party, USA, recently furnished the leadorship of a European communist party its views on the racial situation in the United States, This was done in response to a request from the European communist party for information about the connections between United States Negro leaders and the “patriotic front in the colonies."
The Eurepean commtnist party specifically noted that
Stokely Carmichael, former chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, had established relations with this £vont when he was in Algiers,
The following are the views of the Communist Party, USA, relative to the racial situation-in the United States,
Stokely Carmichael, a product of tho new wave of
i] ypadieals participating in the Negro movement, is being
“| utilized by the enemies of the international communist πόνος
ment. Carnichael's book on black power was actually
propared in collaboration with the United States Department
of State. Carmichael is associated with the Revolutionary
Action Movement {a Marxist-Leninisteoriented, all-Negro,
pro~Chinese communist organization) and is preaching guerrilla
warfare in the cities. This concept is totally unreal, because it is necessary to first win over the Negro masses,
Carmichael views the "white world” as being all “bourgeoisie,” and he views 811 Negroes as "proletarian siaves." During his recent world travels, Carmichac] did not visit any

COMMUNIST PARTY, USA VIEWS ON THE RACIAL SITUATION
Kuropean communist countries, because he considered thom as "white," and when he was in Cuba, he criticized the Communist Party, USA, as being “a millionaives' party." Although Carmichael is a very disrupting force, the rebellions in the American ghettos were spontaneous and werd not organized by Carmichael. The vebellions arose out of social conditions.
H. Rap Brown, current Chairman, Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committes, is prepared to be a "martyr and perhaps is sincere when he telis Negroes to arm themselves, The Communist Party, USA, does not publicly oppose Brown, but believes that this course of action would be disagtrous., The Communist Party, USA, has made it a policy to keep in contact with militant Negro leaders Like Brown, but at the sane time to remain critieal of the course of action advocated, The entire Negro movement is concerned about the slogan "black power" and there is a growth of “adventurist policies," In this connection, H. Rap Brown recently told a white audience that they should give guns to help the Negroes or give money so that the Negroes could buy guns. Thus, the slogan has become “Black Power and Gun Power."
There are provocateurs from the United States Government and gangsters operating in the Negro movement. The Congress of Racial Equality and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference are alarmed at this situation and have consulted the Communist Party, USA, which has had much experience in dealing with provocateus, anarchists, and adventurers. The representatives of the Congress of Racial Equality and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference indicated that they were afraid to oppose H. Rap Brown and other militant Negro leaders, They pointed out that anyone opposing these militant Negro leaders faces the danger of being assassinated,
COMMUNIST PARTY, USA ὁ VIEWS ON THE RACIAL SITUATION
The Communist Payvty, USA, is proud of the position taken by the Negro movement in opposition to the activities of the United States in Vietnam. The position of Negro leader Martin Luther King against the war in Vietnan is well known, and even the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peopie condemns this war.
The Comnunist Party, USA, is for black power where Negroes are in the majority and fox a share of power where Negroes are in the minority. On the international ievel, the Communist Party, USA, considers it a positive development that some Negro leaders in the United States see their strugrie in relation to the colonial strugele throughout the world. However, Stokely Carmichael does nat sec the class strurele, but sees only a world in relation to "the color of skin." The Communist Party, USA, welcomes solidarity with Africk, Latin America, and Asia, but at the same timo exposes the faisaness of relationships based only on the color of skin.

publication alleging he was formerly associated with the Central Intelligence Agency and making alleged exposures of CIA operations. For the information of the Bureau and New York there is enclosed herewith one copy each of a translation of this series of articles entitled "I Was a CIA Agent." Of course, CG 5824-S* declined to accompany YARIS,
According to YARIS, SMITH had promised to give YARIS an exclusive interview under the headline "CIA Kills Own Men." In the articles referred to above (Page 21), SMITH referred to his part in the sabotage of an Indian plane in the spring of 1955. According to SMITH, this plane was blown out of the air after leaving Hong Kong en route to Indonesia because the CIA believed that Chinese Premier CHOU En-lai would be aboard, At the same time, SMITH stated, there were several CIA Agents, whom he named, aboard the plane and they were also killed, CG 5824-5S* cautioned YARIS that he should act like a real journalist and do some independent research to check out such a story and gather additional background material, instead of accepting SMITH's statements at face value. As a result, YARIS did do some checking in a library and discovered that SMITH was not telling the truth, According to YARIS, the individuals named by SMITH as CIA Agents killed in the air crash had not in fact been on that plane. YARIS had been able to verify that they had died elsewhere under different circumstances. YARIS informed CG 5824-S* that he was grateful that CG 5824-S* had counselled him to do such checking. Now YARIS thinks it is possible that the information in the story already published by SMITH may also be a fabrication,

NOTE:
When informant was in the Soviet Union on a Solo Mission in November, 1967, he was questioned by an official of the Soviet Security Division rdi ative to the appearance of informant's name in a U. S. Government publication. This was regarded as a serious matter in view of the fact that informant's role in the Solo apparatus depends upon the fact that he is not known by the U. S. Government to be presentiy connected with the CPUSA. Informant was of the opinion that the Soviet was referring to the book, "Communist Party, USA - Soviet Pawn," which listed informant's name, and informant was able to convince the Soviet there was no cause for concern, However, informant later learned that CPUSA officials were 8150 concerned about this matter and were apparently referring to a book issued by either the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee or HCUA subsequent to the aforementioned publication. A check of the Senate Internal security publica- tions and a check made by WFO or HCUA indices failed to disclose any publication issued subsequent to "Communist Party, USA = Soviet Pawn," which contained informant's name.

You will recall that on 1/8/68, CG 5824~S* received
a message from Gus Hall, General Secretary, CPUSA, for transmission to the Soviets. This message stated that the invasion of North Vietnam by the United States is scheduled for, or about, 1/29/68, and that this decision was reached
| when U. S. President Johnson talked to allies in Australia in December. (This invasion information was disseminated by teletype on 1/9/68 to the White House, Secretaries of State and Defense, and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency). At that time, the infor Hall had obtained this information fron ἢ one of the Party leaders in Wisconsin. er obtaining our approval, CG 5824~S* sent Hall's message to the Soviets through the clandestine Solo communication apparatus. Informant is in a position to obtain any comments the Soviets may make to the CPUSA regarding this matter.

Ν ᾿ + Dear Bill:
[
I suppose by now you have returned back to your normal self and normal activities after the long trip. I must say it seems like years ago already.
| Let me just raise one small matter. A situation has begun to develop between the Hungarians who publish the Left-progressive Hungarian paper here and its counterpart in your country. The paper here is now edited by a very able comrade, Jim Lustig, who has a lifetime of experience in the trade union movement, having been a full time organizer for many years with the U.E. He is really doing a remarkable job not only of editing the paper along a correct political path but it’ is the only language paper here thatis growing in circulation and influence. Under his editorship the paper takes on popular struggles such as social security, old age
’ pensions movement, and has ἃ very correct political line on all international ques- tions, etc, i
This has come about as a result of a struggle within the leadership amongst the Hungarians. Some elements who fought for a narrow approach on his line were pushed to the sidelines and isolated ‘from any movements and developments. Now some of these elements are beginning to gather around the left Hungarian paper published in your country. One of them wrote a completely onesided article on
y the Tri-Continental Congress in Havana which the Hungarian paper here refused to publish. This article was published by the Hungarian paper in your country plus a great article of praise to the writer as being a great Marxist-Leninist.
We really know very little about this gentleman in Mexico who wrote this article.
Also one of the elements that was isolated comes from Los Angeles. He has, I understand, now attached himself to the Hungarian paper in your country.
If it is possible, it seems we should try to head off any situation develop- ing between these two papers and instead, if possible, we should take some steps to get them to work together. I think that both could benefit from such relationships.
One of the suggestions from here would be that if the editor of the paper in your country would agree to invite Lustig for a visit there, he would be very glad to come to exchange thoughts ahd work out problems. If this takes place and if it is possible, I think it would be good if somebody from your leadership would , participate in some form in, such an exchange.
Tt was very nice to see you again and I consider it very important for me and for my work to get to know comrades like you and the other Canadian comrades better.
Let me take this opportunity to wish the very best of New Year wishes to you and your family and to the rest of the comrades.
Comradely,
ENCTOS ‘URE Gus Hall
ΝΕ a ME EE al
January 9, 1966
Dear Michael:
᾿ z hanks for your message of cheer for the New Year and thanks too for the note and enclosure. Will look into the matter of the paper and advise you when such a get together might be arranged.
Tncidentiy the folks who got your note will’be on vacation for a month so if there is something urgent write me at home: 20 Shalimar Blvd. Apt. 701, Toronto 10, Ontario.
Have you settled yet who is going to consult? We may send 2 or 2 and it was suggested I lead it.
Hope you had a pleasant New Year. 1968 should be a Lively year, It is certainly showing the creaks and crevices ' around @evaiuation and the dollar and may dispel many illusions
among those who lean on the almighty dollar. ALL the best to you and yours,
As ever, "

According to our agreement you should check tROSY' after 8 AM January 22, 68 and on that day at 5:05 PM acknowLedge your wun readiness to go to drop by telephone 17368751 or 473-8707 which are valid for January ἃ February. T didn't get your acknowledgement at 5:05 PM January 22, 68. T decided to control above~mentioned telephones at the same time on the next day taking into consideration that you could get my signal in the morning of January 23, but I failed to get it. After that T asked our Centre to arrange drop 'PEG' through tradio,.

‘T repeat our agreement: If I want to pass you anything through drop or call you to personal rendezvous or transceiver operation, I'11 put a signal on 'ROSY' (western side) excluding ‘radio! days, Saturday, Sunday & holiday. You should check it after 6 AM. Having received a signal you should acknowledge it on the same day at 5:05 PM by phone which is valid in current month. Drop, personal rendezvous or transceiver operation will take place on the following day at the time appointed for next drop, transceiver operation & at 7:05 PM personal rendezvous. Signals are: Coca Cola - drop; Pepsi-Cola = personal rendezvous; 7-Up « transceiver operation. After you pick up our message from drop, please acknowledge it by phone acting this month at the time which is appointed for this drop. If I put a signal on east side of 'ROSY,' the operation should take place on that day when you get signal without confirmation.
"tT would ask you to find more convenient place for tROSY' on your every day way. Maybe you can find one like 'TOPSY' (A. B. Beck Shore Store, 45th Street and Fifth Avenue). By the way, I check 'TOPSY' twice a week (radio days) after 9:00 PM.
(The above message reflects that there is confusion on the part of the Soviet with respect to the acknowLedgement of the "ROSY" signal operation. Pursuant to previously~made arrangements, there has been no necessity for the acknowledgement of the removal of a bottle top by ἃ telephone call at
5:05 PM.
For this reason, the Soviet was unaware of the fact that NY 6944s* had observed the bottle top at the girder and had covered the drop pursuant to the bottle top signal.)

As the Bureau is aware, CG 5824-S* recently completed the 24th Solo Mission which commenced on October 19, 1967, and ended with his return to the United States on December 4, 1967, after having traveled to the USSR via Czechoslovakia. During this mission he was a covert delegate of the Communist Party (CP), USA to the Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration of the October Revolution held in Moscow, USSR, November 7, 1967, o,
Based upon the results obtained as well as the «σι τ extraordinary risks involved, it is recommended an award of $1,000 be made to CG 5824-8*,
κῷ The extraordinary risks involved are based upon Ss his travel behind the Iron Curtain which always requires w extreme courage which the informant has repeatedly displayed
WY in this and previous missions. Source had the additional
\
: burden of being in the state of health less than good and traveling under the new legend for the first time,
The outstanding results of this mission consisted of the source's meetings with MIKHAIL A, SUSLOV, BORIS Ν, PONOMAREV and MIKHAIL 5, SOLOMENTSEV, 211 Secretaries of the Central Committee, CP of the Soviet Union. Because of the source's presence at the Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration as a covert member of the CP, USA delegation, he had the

No recommendation is being made for a monetary award for CG 6653~8, who left this country on October 29, 1967, and returned with CG 5824-5* on December 4, 1967, as she participated on this mission as a convenience to CG 5824-S*, It is, however, recommended that she be given a letter which can be shown to her commending her for her valuable assistance to CG 5824-S* during the past mission,
If the Bureau approves this recommended incentive
award of $1,000, it will be presented to CG 5824-S* as directed by the Bureau.

In this recard, the Bureau is conecarned over the nininal progross being mide toward increasing the functioning parts of the Solo apparatus. Past experience hag shown that neither ΝΥ G94-$% nor CG 5524—-§%* have gone ont of their way to assist in the development of individuals who could conecivahly serve ag tivals to them under ow contral.
It must be conceded that we are left with but two alternatives, The first alternative is that we develop tha apparatus so that it can function with the demise of ons or both of these two informants. Our only other alternative is to terminate the operation, in order to capitalize on its exposure through publicity and/or testinony. Current thinking at Seat of Government tends taward exposure throuch testimony if we fail with our first alternative, notwithstanding the trenmondotis obstacies the step presents.
By separate communication, New Yors and Chicaco should advise the Bureau of their observations in this ropard. Both offices should considex what offoet a request to testify would hava on stimulating the inforuants' activities toward the development of additional personnel foy the apparatus. This communication should reach the Bureau within 10 days of the date of this airtel.
NOTE :
In view of the delicate physical condition of both NY 694~S* and CG 5824-S$*, immediate steps must be undertaken to deyelop the apparatus so that it can function if one or both should pass on,

On 1/29/68 CG 5824-S* furnished the following information concerning efforts of the CP, USA to comply
with the request of the Communist Party of the Soviet
Union (CPSU) that the CP, USA set up a laundry or a gift
shop in NYC which can be used as a drop or cutout for the transfer of funds from the CPSU to the CP, USA.
While in NYC during the periods 12/28/67 to 1/18/68 and 1/23/68 to 1/28/68, CG 5824-S* had several conversations with GUS HALL concerning the security of the Solo apparatus in general and the acquisition of such a cutout in particular. HALL stated that during his jast visit to the USSR, he had been engaged in a discus- Sion on the subject of the security of the apparatus by BORIS N, PONOMAREV, Secretary of the Central Committee, CPSU, in charge of the activities of the International Department, Central Committee, CPSU. Also present at this discussion was NIKOLAI V, MOSTOVETS, Head of the North and South American Section, International Department, Central Committee, CPSU. They did not go into a great

_the apparatus, and compartnentalize the activities of CG 5824-S% “go that his CP, USA léwdaership functions do not jeopardize the apparatus. They again emphasized to HALL thatthe apparatus, as far as humanly possible, should not be used for or sending messages of extreme length or for such minor matters as requests for visas. It should be used_for unsent matters, Where possible, the Party ; Should attempt to use every legal means of communication,
In the context of the above discussion, HALL stated, the Russians, raised the question again coucerning the establish- went of a business to use as a method for delivery of funds to the” cp, “USA. HALL expressed some surprise that the Russians considered the laundry (or gift shop) as part of the protection of the apparatus. Nevertheless, HALL stated that some affirma- tive action must be taken to accomplish the acauisition of a businéss in NYC which can be used for this purpose. CG 5824-S* Stated“that HALL had no answers for him as to how this was to be accomplished or who could be used to operate such a business for the Party. The informant stated that he warned HALL that the Russians might change their minds, as they have been known to do in the past, and after using this drop once, or maybe not even that, discontinue its use. In that case the Party might stand to lose $20,000 or $25,000 which had been invested, HALL indicated he understood this possibility but it would have nyway. HALL also thought for awhile that perhaps could be brought into NYC to run this business, 6 but after discussing this choice with CG 5824-8*, they decided 570 was not the type of individual needed for this purpose,
In this connection, it was noted that a recent radio message from the Russians, aiter first naming two places to be used for the transfer of funds, had requested that the CP, USA name some new places. HALL wondered exactly how this should be interpreted. He stated he was not sure whether this referred to new places in general or whether the Russians were specifically asking about the proposed acquisition of a shop to be used as a cutout. HALL came to no definite conclusion in this respect but gave the impression he felt he was under some pressure to get this matter resolved,
In any event, HALL told CG 5824-5* to go ahead and do whatever he could to get this project under way. Speci- fically, recalling previous discussions on this subject about a year ago, HALL instructed CG 5824-S* to once again contact IRVING POTASH who had been given the responsibility of locating
~Q-
CG 154-46 Sub B
a suitable individual to run this projected business for
the Party. Therefore, following this discussion with
HALL, CG 5824-S* had made several attempts to locate
POTASH without success, Since POTASH had moved and alithougn CG 5824-S* had his address, he was unable to get a tele- phone number for him and security precautions precluded
any attempt to personally contact POTASH at home. Eventually, CG 5824-S* located POTASH and inquired regarding the status
of the individual POTASH had supposedly recommended for this task, a At this time, POTASH stated that he had temporarily lost ad moved
and POTASH was not sure where he was, However, POTASH promised that he would locate[________] within a couple of weeks and
CG 5824-S* should contact POTASH is next trip to NYC and together they would speak col POTASH expressed some doubt at this point whether, with e passage of time since ths project was first proposed, [Jou be able this job. This decision will await discussion with
τσ ἢ he is located. CG 5824-S* and POTASH agreed
jat they would meet next time in the Automat locatedat 57th St. and Sixth Ave., NYC.
Relative to the type of individual who would be suitable for the task of running this business on behalf of the Party and who would be acceptable for this sensitive position, CG 5824-S* made the following remarks;
To be considered, this person must be someone with a_background OF association With the Party, put this association must have been some substantial period_ in the past or such an
eet pe πὐῇὸ τον association of more recent date, must not have ‘been public nor can this. verson have been attending Party meetings for a period of some vears, It may be a person who was associated with the Party some years ago, who no jonger attends Party meetings but has retained his contacts tlirough some continuing “activity with some Yront group, There must be sufficient evidence in the past of his sympathy for the CP, USA, but no recent public association with nor recent active participation in Party activities. In_other words, this individua] must be relatively “clean,” but at _the_same_time _he_known and vouched Yor by Soweone of undoubted trustworthiness besides CG B824-s% and/or NY 694-39: This person rust be accented hv GUS BALL, and it can be expected that the Russians will make rather searching inquiry concerning his background since they will be “exposing “chenselves somewhat dangerously although it is not expected their scrutiny will be as thorough as in the case of NY 4809-8",

CG 5824-S* stated that the next time he is in NYC

nary feeling thaq pay well not prove to be satis- factory,
It is the thought of this office that there may be a situation here which we can take advantage of, Although requesting the CP, USA to set up this front instead of doing so themselves, it seems to us that this operation requires a lot of trouble on the part of both the CP, USA and the Russians to cover a transaction which will take place, at
| best, two or three times a year, Once established, we consider
it likely the Russians may well wish to use this cutout for other covert operations. Therefore, we may be well advised to give serious consideration to the advantages which would accrue to our intelligence operations were we able to insert a controlled individual to operate this front.
As a consequence of above considerations, it is suggested that the New York Office survey their current and former sources who may conform in greater or lesser detail to the above requirements as candidates for the position of proprietor of this Party established business, In considering the feasibility of such a ploy, careful thought should also be given to the fact that any individual so utilized, if sub- sequently compromised, could jeopardize the entire Solo apparatus. Therefore, we must be completely certain that the cover of such an individual to be utilized in this capacity is absolutely foolproof so that the prospect of possible further penetration of Soviet Intelligence operations in this country does not jeopardize the accomplishment already achieved in the Solo operation.
The above is submitted for the consideration of the Bureau and the New York Office whose comments are requested.

The first of these notes was from NIKOLAI V. MOSTOVETS, Head of the North and South American Section, International Department, Central Committee, Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) , and IGOR V. MIKHAILOV, Assistant to MOSTOVETS, which requested CG 5824-S* to send to them the following recent books:

CG 5824-S* advised that these books will be shipped to MOSTOVETS and MIKHAILOV in the near future via the Professor Sirinovy drop in Moscow, USSR.
The second note was from MOSTOVETS in which he re- quested that CG 5824-S* obtain a quantity of medicine needed by his wife who has a heart disease, This medicine is not obtainable by MOSTOVETS in the USSR, The medicine requested is "Cedilanid,” which is made in tablet form by Sandoz, Ltd., Basel, Switzerland. CG 5824-S* advised that he will try to obtain this medicine for MOSTOVETS but that it will probably have to be sent to him with someone who travels to the USSR from the CP, USA,

SUBJECT: NIKOLAT MIKHAILOVICH TALANOV TS » ἢ (SMUN -- KGB)
For the information of the Bureau, in connection with the SOLO operation, subject was to transmit a signal to NY 694-S*, at the informant's residence on 1/31/68.
This signal was to be made by a device activated by the subject, wWnich would cause some type of distortion on the informant's television set. The signal was to be trans-
mitted between 9:00 and 9:30 PM on 1/31/68, and the informant was to confirm the reception of this signal at 10:00 PM
on 1/31/68, by making a telephone call to a public telephone located in Alexander's Department Store, located on
Queens Boulevard, NYC.

In order to determine how close subject came to the informant's residence, a discreet surveillance was conducted. On 1/31/68, TALANOY and his wife, EMILTYA A, TATANOVA, were observed leaving the SMUN together in his car at 7:49 PM. He drove with his wife directly to Queens by way of Queens Boulevard and entered Macy's Department
Store located on Queens Boulevard. At 8:22 PM, TALANOV “and his wife drove into Macy's Department Store parking lot and parked. Τὴ the interest of security, TALANOV and his wife were not followed directly into the afore-
mentioned parking lot [06-4 UY Fol — ὯΝ ΤΣ (RM Road «ας 100 δέου ἌΝ NG? sa a

At 8:42 PM, TALANOV and his wife were observed by SAs walking about the department store ostensibly shopping in the men's wear department. At 9:02 PM, TALANOV, accompanied by his wife, were again observed in his automobile exiting Macy's parking lot. They drove directly to Alexander's Department Store parking lot which is located north of Queens Boulevard. At 9:14 PM, TALANOV and his wife were observed entering aforementioned parking lot and once again parking. At 9:16 PM, TATLANOV and his wife exited his automobile and they both walked directly to and entered Alexander's Department Store at 9:18 PM. They both were observed in the aforementioned department store ostensibly shopping on the main and second floor.
TALANOV and his wife exited Alexander's at 9:42 PM and immediately returned to their automobile and were last observed proceeding in a westerly direction toward Manhattan on Queens Boulevard.
The observation post located in the area of the SMUN advised that TALANOV and his wife reentered the SMUN at 10:07 PM,
The above surveillance was conducted with a mexiimim of discreet security and it was facilitated by the use of three late model Bureau cars and three BMW motorcycies equipped with personal receivers and transmitters.
re should be pointed out that the NYO obtained the use of ἃ small portable Sony battery operated TV receiver and installed same in the rear seat of one of the fisur vehicles in the hopes of intercepting the abovementioned signal by the subject.
No signal was received by the Bureau car. It was subsequently learned from the informant that no signal was received by him on 1/31/68.
As the Bureau is aware, TALANOV was scheduled to appear at a telephone booth located on the third floor of Alexander's Department Store at 10:00 PM on 1/31/68, for
f ee
NY 105414931
verification from the informant that he, in fact, received - the signal. This did not materialize, however, since Alexander's closed at 9:30 PM and the subject was forced
to leave Alexander's by no later than 9:45 ΡΜ, :
The NYO feels that the possibility exists that TALANOV was not aware of the fact that Alexander's closed at 9:30 PM when he initially made the scheduled arrangements with the informant. Upon his arrival at Alexander's and determining the fact that he could not verify the receipt or the signal by NY 694.8%, he may have decided to forego his scheduled plan.
Another signal operation between TATANOY ana the informant is scheduled for 2/8/68.
As the Bureau is aware, any clandestine operations éngaged in between TAIANOV and N¥ 694—aS% are extremely valuable from the viewpoint of penetrating the communications network of the NY KGB Residency. The NYO, therefore, requests that Laboratory personnel again be sent to New York on 2/8/68, to monitor the signaling device used in this Operation. The NYO intends to afford similar coverage
to the activities of TALANOV on 2/8/68, as was afforded the activities on 1/31/68.

cents. Aithough hampered by poor health, CG 5824=S* willingly placed himself in jeopardy to provide this data, This
attitude merits special recognition, Chicago also, recommended that the informant's wife, who accompanied him, receive a personal letter from the Director in appreciation of her services, We believe SAC, Chicago, should orally express

On 1/29/68 CG 5824-S* advised that during his discussions with GUS HALL, General Secretary, CP, USA, while the informant was recently in NY, HALL had asked him to accompany the CP, USA delegation to the consulta- tive meeting of Communist and Workers Parties scheduled al, to begin 2/26/68 in Budapest, Hungary, As the Bureau is Nhe aware, the decision of the National Executive Board, CP, Jay USA, at its recent meeting on 1/12/68 in NYC, was that . the CP, USA delegation should consist of GUS HALL, JAMES JACKSON, and DANIEL RUBIN, According to CG 5824-S*, HALL takes for granted that no mention of CG 5824-S* in this context would be made at the National Executive Board for security reasons. In response to HALL'’s request, source stated that he did not desire to go to Budapest and per- haps in view of the Russians’ expressed concern for security, it would be better if he did not attend this meeting.
Nevertheless, CG 5824-S5* told HALL circumstances may avise which would make it desirable for CG 5824-S* to 7-- Hod 9 τ

attend the meeting and, therefore, they should "play it safe.” As the Bureau will recall, a letter of invitation from the Hungarian Socialist Workers Party (HSWP) requested a response from the CP, USA by 2/15/68 with the identities
of the members of the CP, USA delegation, This response
was to be delivered to the Hungarian Mission to the UN in NYC. CG 5824-5* suggested and HALL agreed that the response should name the above three individuals with the added state- ment that another CP, USA member may also attend and would come through Prague or Berlin, CG 5824-5* stated that he would not trust the Hungarians at the Mission with his iden- tity and his method of travel. The reason for including Berlin is that CG 5824-S5* was not sure what the situation
in Prague might be in view of the recent shakeup in the leadership of the CP of Czechoslovakia (CPCZ). This procedure of "playing it safe" in the event it becomes desirable for CG 5824-S8* to go toBidapest was also followed in the framing of a message to the CP of the Soviet Union (CPSU) in response to their inquiry through Solo channels on 1/31/68 for the identities of the members of the CP, USA delegation to the Budapest meeting.
Relative to those circumstances which might dictate that CG 5824-5* attend the meeting, HALL and CG 5824-S* 419. cussed the following problems:
As the Bureau will recali, on the last Solo Mission, CG 5824-S* negotiated for the 1968 subsidy from the CPSU for the CP, USA, At the time CG 5824-S* left Moscow, he was told that the amount of this subsidy had not yet been decided by the CPSU, but that the decision would be made about the end of 12/67 or the beginning of 1968 and the CP, USA would be advised of this decision, Thus far, no word has been received on this subject. In discussing this with HALL, CG 5824-5* pointed out that the Russians had sent a radio message approving two places for the transfer of money during 1968, He gave HALL a general interpretation of this to the effect that the Russians have agreed to furnish funds to the CP, USA during 1968 and further that it is possible that this may signify that they will give the same amount as last year and therefore did not bother to detail this amount in their message,
HALL's response to this interpretation was that if the subsidy for 1968 is the same as 1967, then it is not enough, He pointed out the Russians should realize that the CP, USA in
am 2 ww
᾿ ᾿ “ Φ Φ
CG 134-46 Sub B
1968 will begin publishing a new daily paper, must partici-
pate extensively in the national election campaign, may hold
a National Convention of the Party, and will also launch a
new Party program, All of these take a lot of money. HALL continued that he had already committed large amounts to
these projects, especially to the new daily paper, The Party will publicly state at the public rally to launch the paper
that it had collected a half million dollars for the new
daily. HALL stated that this is true in fact and that besides the large amount which he had put into this project out of
CP, USA reserve funds, the drive for the new paper had collected Some money, some had come from willis, and some had come from subscriptions to the paper. HALL stated regarding subscriptions that one person gave a $10,000 subscription and they are getting many $1,000 subscriptions, Although CG 5824-S* pointed out to HALL that such an announcement possibly might hurt him with the Russians who might revise the amount of the next subsidy, HALL stated that it might be too late to stop this announcement,
The whole purpose of this discussion on funds was that HALL asked how the CP, USA got this decision from the CPSU last
year, CG 5824-S* responded that he had had to make a trip to the USSR at that time to learn the amount of the subsidy, but this year they stated they would advise the Party, HALL then stated that perhaps CG 5824-S* would have to make another trip for the same purpose, CG 5824-S* urged HALL to hold off on such a trip at this time and give the CPSU a chance to send the answer since they may well be delayed owing to the fact that
the international committee which gathers and allocates this fund may be having a difficult time since some of the former: member countries have dropped out, HALL agreed to this delay but indicated that it may be desirable for CG 5824-S* to go to Prague for this answer in conjunction with a trip to Budapest Should no answer be forthcoming by that time, CG 5824-~S* remarked to this office that the Russians may be holding off until HALL goes to Budapest to inform HALL there about the decision on the money. If this is so, CG 5824-5* noted this would look to HALL like an eroding of the usefulness of the apparatus and he may begin to wonder why he needs an apparatus if he has to get the answer himself,
HALL and CG 5824-S* also discussed the fact that there have been some major changes at the "World Marxist Review" in Prague and that the "Waid Marxist Review" owes some money to the CP, USA, both in reimbursement for the mailing of the "World Marxist Review" in this country handled by the CP, USA, and for royalties owed to CP, USA members whose articles have
- a
3
CG 134-46 Sub B
been published in the magazine, Since CG 5824-S* has handled such financial transactions in the past, HALL doubted that the "World Marxist Review" would like to deal with anyone else from the CP, USA on this subject. Therefore, CG 5824-S* might have to make a trip to Prague for this purpose also,
As a result of this discussion, HALL agreed to hold in abeyance his decision about whether he wants CG 5824-5S* to make this trip but would "play it safe" and inform the HSWP that there might be a fourth member of the CP, USA dele- gation, and inform the CPSU that CG 5824-S* would be going to Budapest so that they would make the usual arrangements for a visa for CG 5824-S* traveling under his cover legend,
In regard to HALL's attendance at the Budapest meeting, CG 5824-S* advised that whereas HALL had been adamant some months ago that he would represent the CP, USA at the meeting, he was not enthusiastic at all at this time about attending. In the informant's opinion, HALL may be waiting and watching to see who will attend publicly, If some of the other big communist leaders back off, HALL may do the same, Rather than leaving on 2/16 or 17/68, as previously planned, HALL stated he will not leave for Budapest before 2/20/68, Of course, HALL's reluctance may be based upon the problems existing in the CP, USA at this time, It is known that HALL canceled his intended 2/4-5/68 trip to San Francisco on this basis and instead asked HENRY WINSTON who was gang to Los Angeles to also spend a few days in San Francisco to handle whatever business HALL had intended to take up there,
The above information is furnished to the Bureau ID and New York so that each is aware of the possibility that
CG 5824-5* may be required to travel abroad in the nea future, What effect, if any, the current condition of] ᾷβᾷβ1 may have on this situation is not known at this time,

JAMES JACKSON
It was learned during January, 1968, that while JAMES JACKSON was in Moscow, USSR, during November, 1967, he had contacted Progress Publishers, Moscow, who had published in the English language JACKSON 's book, "U.S. Negroes in Battle: From Little Rock to Watts." Progress Publishers paid JACKSON, $1,300 in royalties from the sale of his book in the USSR. They said that the book had not been shipped out of the Soviet Union but had been placed on sale in the international book store in Moscow for those Russians who want to read English,
When JACKSON returned to the United States, he became involved in a disagreement with other members of the Communist Party, USA (CP, USA) leadership on this subject. JACESON learned that the CP, USA planned to publish CLAUDE LIGHTFOOT's report to the National Negro Commission and the National Executive Board, CP, USA, JACKSON became angry because in his opinion the Party had made no effort to circu- late his book, The Party leadership therefore agreed to circulate JACKSON'’s book, At this, JACKSON told the Party to buy the copies of his book from WILLIAM WEINSTONE at New Era Books, but the Party responded that they had already paid for the books, It seems that when Progress Publishers in Moscow shipped the books to the United States, GUS. HALL in- structed that the Party pay for them. The books were shipped directly to JACKSON in care of "The Worker," and the Party — paid Progress Publishers for them. JACKSON took the books and sold them himself, some of them wholesale to WEINSTONE at New Era. According to JACKSON, when he went to Moscow this Inst time, he paid the Russians a second time for these books, but JACKSON could not recall whom he paid.
GUS HALL is angry at JACKSON and believes that JACKSON pocketed all of the money for the books. However, the Party is now committed to repurchase the books from Rew Era and circulate them.
It was also learned that during December, 1967, JACKSON was making a lot of suggestions plus numerous demands on HALL for special assistance for JACKSON in the Foreign Affairs Department of the CP, USA, of which JACKSON is Chair-~ man. According to JACKSON, he cannot continue to work under

the present circumstances, without money, without a place -
to work, and without even a stenographer whose services
he can get for.a reasonable time. HALL has finally stated
he is willing to accede to JACKSON's demands if a stenographer can be found for him, The money involved is not the major question involved, according to HALL. The problem is to locate a stenographer who is an old-time comrade well known to the Party.

ALBERT J. LIMA
While in the USSR for the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the October Revolution held during Novenber, 1967, in Moscow, GUS HALL, General Secretary, Communist Party, USA (OP, USA), purchased a plaque beaying the relief of KARL MARX which he desired to have hung in the National Office of the CP, USA. This plaque is made of bronze-tinted aluminun. This plaque was purchased for 230 rubles which amount repre- sented the royalties praid to HALL for the publication of an article by HALL in the book entitled, “The Great. October and _ The World Revolutionary Process," published in the USSR,
The plaque was turned over to ALISERT J. LIMA in the USSR and LIMA was to bring it to New York City. It was later learned that LIMA merely shipped the plaque to the United States ac part of his haggaege but did not claim it at the airport on his arrival in the United States. LIMA turned the baggage claim check over to HALL, and it is understood that HALL went: ARNOLD JOHNSON to recover the plaque.

THE GOLD OUTLOOK and South African and Other Gold Stocks
"The demand for gold in the world is practically infinite. We have to choose (as a voter) between trusting to the natural stability of gold and the natural stability of the honesty and intelligence of the members of the government. And with due respect for these gentlemen, I advise you, as long as the capitalistic system lasts, to vote for gold."
George Bernard Shaw "The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism" - 1928
Gold is a commodity having established and widening uses in industry and the arts. Also it is a monetary metal having unique worldwide acceptance, performing needed economic services as a medium of exchange for international settlements, as a monetary base for credit and as a store of value.
Qn January 31, 1934 the latest great change in the monetary value of gold in the United States took place, through revaluation from $20.67 to $35.00 per fine ounce. This act of stabilization followed a much earlier suspension of gold payments, on March 6, 1933, The $35 price was high in relation to immediate production costs; therefore, production of gold was encouraged, and gold output of the "Free World" rose from 23.5 million fine ounces in 1934 to 36,1 million in 1940,
Economic dislocations of World War II caused a decline of gold output. Prior to this, however, the higher price had stimulated exploration, with a result that a great new mining area was found in 1938 along the "West Wit Line" of the Western Rand of South Africa. Exploitation of this rich area became significant during the 1950's and 1960's, and Free World gold production grew to a peak of 41,7 million ounces in 1965 and 1966, South African production, which had been less than half of the Free World total, rose to 74% of total output in 1966.

Total output hag became grossly inedaquate in relation io requirements for gold. However, under tie pressure of rising costs, eqgregate orcduction in South Airica officialiy is

axpocted to cecline beginning in the early 1970's, in the rest of the world output has been declining for a long number of years.
A steep decline already has taken place in the supply of gold from the Soviet Union, traditionally the largest supplier next to South Africa. The Soviets consider gold a strategic cormmodity, and they have always withheld statistics covering production and reserves. To pay for emergency imports ot wheat, Russia sold over $1 billion of gold in the two years 1964-65, but since then it has not been a seller, Communist China has become a substantial buyer over the past two years. ᾿
Ag a commodity subject to ordinary pressures of supply and demand, gold today is probably more underpriced than it was overpriced afler the rex valuation of 1934. ‘The price, of copper, now over J40G¢, then wis δ; the price of silver, now over $2, was less than 50¢. Thus, ‘gold as ἃ commodity hac bert under important upward price pressures ~ especially since actual uses in the tin and industry have been steadily expanding, Gold has a unique attracton in tie arts and a growing variety of special uses in industry, and world derund for old for these two outlets has tripled over the past decade. In 1966, such
sos absorbed approximately $500 million of gold, or over 8 third of Tree Work production of $1.4 billion. ἢ
In addition, goid demand by individuals tor investment has become of over-riding importance. Since the beginning of 1966, for the first time in moder history, private purchases plus uses in the arts and industry have been causing a decline in the aggregate gold reserves of the central banks of the world, Private demand reflects the position of gold both as a commodity and as a monetary medium, Such demand is strongly motivated by the twin influ- ences of fear and speculative ambition.
currency depreciations in their own countries and optimistic about the possibilities of profits on gold. Thus, an increasingly large private demand for gold nas boon interfering with tha traditional role of goid as the principal constituent of the credit base, constituted by gold and key currencies, which underlies the achvides of central banks all over the world, Such ἃ reserve basa ig necosséry toc amie.- national saltlements in the financing of ἃ growing volume of production and List ty ὄνον the past decade, the growth of world trade has averaged, in Currarcy tnd, about 7 1/2% per year.
Concern about persistent currency depreciation is the most important force giving rise to gold purchases by individuals, Annual depreciation of major Currencies in terms of purchasing power has averaged 3,4% over the past docahag, in gome countries decreases in purchasing power have been accompanied by rises in the price of gold, In Great Britain the gold price rose in November 1967 by 18% as a result of devaluation of the pound.
νὰ --ὦ τ’
Over a long period a much greater decline of purchasing power has
taken place than during the past decade alone.
Over the past 60 years, a period
affected by World Wars I and II, most currencies have undergone such declines that, in terms of gold, an average of 50 currencies commands less: than 1/100th
of former values.
In some countries, particularly in the Orient, gold has become recognized
as almost the only way of protecting savings.
The experiences of depreciation
in Great Britain and the United States have been far milder than in most countries, but British and American individual holdings of gold figure very little in_ the total
picture of individual gold investment,
to own monetary gold,
Britons and Americans by law are forbidden
In a variety of countries, rules and regulations make it difficult - in some cases impossible ~ to purchase monetary gold. The principal countries prohibiting private gold ownership are as follows, in relation to total world
population:

United States
Nigeria

23.29%
14,65 7,16 6,04 1.75 1.69 1,00 4,28
99.86%
In some countries controls are only moderately effective. In these, such as India, private purchases, supplied by smuggling, continually have been accomplished at prices up to $100 per ounce, or from two to three times the established London Free Market price of $35 per ounce. In many other countries there are no obstacles at all to ownership of gold, except the costs and expenses of insurance and storage, including a loss of interest return on an “idle" gold
investment,
In the United States, as in most countries, it has become established policy ~ under today's modified Keynsian doctrines - to employ fiscal and credit measures to further such a growth of production and trade as will maintain full employment. However, in the kind of environment so created, it has proved impossible to prevent the consequences, in wages and prices, of aggressive competition among the various segments of the economy to increase their own
shares of the flow of income.
These segments include labor, business, agriculture -

yl ix,
and government, too, In an economy where the theory of full employment is practiced, a result of such competition is, inevitably, an upward movement
of prices, Economists deplore this, but there is no school of Keynsian or neo-Keynsian economists which has been able to propose a practical way to maintain price stability short of instituting a self-defeating complex of bureau- cratic controls.
Thus, now, more than ever, there are basic reasons why people all over the world are concerned about declines in purchasing power of currencies, so that by various means they try to protect themselves, These means include ownership of gold shares, land, and equities providing inflation protection - also, ownership of gold itself.
_ In contrast, in the century from the end of the Napoleonic Wars to World War I, leading economies were not governed by a full employment require- ment - and productivity gains kept up with increases in labor and other costs, so that the price of gold remained unchanged in the two principal industrial and financial nations, the United States and Great Britain, while prices of goods remained within a broad channel of stability. *
As 8 natural accompaniment of currency depreciation, there have been recurrent periods of severe concern over the future price of gold, ever since World Wars I and II, Accordingly, gold buying by individuals has been persistent, and mounting. The London Free Gold Market, with its official price of approxi- mately $35, has become a steadily enlarging source of supply. In this market, central banks, under the leadership of the United States, have maintained con- tinuous offerings in the interest of maintaining monetary stability. The total amount which has gone into private hoards from the gold markets in London and elsewhere is not available, Since World War II it has probably approximated as much as $15-$20 billion, constituting a principal reason why needed increases in gold reserves of ceniral banks ultimately ground toa halt by the end of 1965.
Private demand for gold reached a temporary, panicky peak in the London market in 1960, when the price soared out of conirol for 4 few days and gold sold as high as $42. Largely by offerings from the U.S. Treasury, which then had reserves of some $19 billion, the price was brought back to $35. 3 Later, in 1961, the so-called "Group of Eight" central banks was organized to insure against a repetition of panicky gold buying. France, not willing to deplete her own gold reserves, quietly withdrew from the Group of Eight in June 1967,
Since June 1967, the United States has been providing at least 59% of the gold supplied by the remaining Group of Seven. A large rise in the supply to the Free Market, out of official reserves, became necessary in November 1967, at a time of acute concern caused by the devaluation of the pound from $2.80 to 82,40, Later, on December 7, the U. δ, Treasury announced ἃ transfer of $475 million from its reserves to the Exchange Stabilization Fund.
* A single, temporary exception took place in the United States when Civil War- caused financial difficulties gave rise to issuance of greenbacks and an advance,
eventually reversed, in the dollar price of gold.

This brought U. 85, Treasury reserves to $12,4 billion as compared with a
peak of approximately $24.6 billion in 1949, Short-term international claims against our gold now exceed $33 billion as compared with less than $10 billion in 1949,
An important school of neo-Keynsian economists, which has acquired many supporters, particularly in the United States, deplores and criticizes the impersonal, regulating role of gold in the central banking mechanisms of the world, It advocates, instead, a new type of currency based on agreements among major banks and governments, and related to production and trade. Thus far, efforts in this direction have produced only limited results, and nearly all nations have been making obvious efforts to protect or expand gold reserves. A key reason: only nations with adequate gold reserves can make untrammeled decisions in important international political, economic and military matters. Furthermore, they are unwilling to finance on a continuing basis the imbalance of payments and the internal deficits and inflation of countries which do not appear to be taking remedial measures.
A 107-nation conference of the International Monetary Fund, held in Rio de Janeiro in September 1967, produced a much-debated agreement to create a new international unit of exchange, Special Drawing Rights (SDR's). These are defined in grains of fine gold. Should this tentative agreement be elaborated by the appointed national delegates into an agreed formal proposal to their govern- ments, SDR's may come into force, but probably not before 1970. The potential expansion of world banking reserves through SDR's apparently would be on the order of only 1%-3% per annum,
The furor created by the sudden devaluation of the pound on the part of Great Britain from $2.80 to $2.40, on November 18, has not entirely subsided. The reactions of other countries have not yet been fully tested, and critical monetary questions still remain.
An important question revolves around the dollar itself, as the dollar is now, admittedly, the "front-line" currency in the maintenance of stability of the $35 gold price, Maintaining this price is a matter of determined official policy, almost of dogma, on the part of the Administration and the Federal Reserve System. Earlier, it was also a matter of official Ὁ, S. policy to back up the stability of the pound. Actual devaluation pointed up that our outflow of reserves had become so great that the United States considered it imprudent to maintain an ultimate defense of the pound.
By law, the Pederal Reserve System is conditionally required to keep a 25% gold reserve against Federal Reserve Notes. This requirement alone totals nearly $10.5 billion today, leaving little margin as the gold reserve has shrunk to a somewhat debatable $12.4 billion, which includes approximately $1 billion not freely available; it is footnoted as a gold deposit held for the account of the International Monetary Fund.

In several thousand years of “monetary history, gold has maintained a unique record of always having been in demand,and, practically speaking, almost never having declined in price, Thus, there are strong reasons in experience for the much criticized so-called "mystique" which surrounds gold, and the circumstances whereby both individuals and countries in most parts of the. world prefer gold to dollars or other currencies. Following the recent experience of the British pound devaluation, in which foreign central banks that held unhedged sterling were hurt while those who had gold were protected, the essential preference of central banks for gold is finding itself reinforced,
It appears that our gold reserve will continue to decline, only the speed of the shrinkage being in question, unless one or more of the following circumstances changes:
Δ, individuals and banks all over the world reverse a widespread psychological preference for gold as compared with dollars or other currences,
2. U. 8. outlays all over the world for military and civilian projects requiring a dollar outflow,and thus setting up claims against gold, are dramatically reduced, so that the dollar can become Strong in its own right.
3, A rigorous program of deflation is adopted by the United States,
Large economies are conceivable in areas of military outlay, but only if there are changes of policy. For instance, military expenditures abroad could be reduced. The total foreign and domestic military budget of the United States is now on the order of $80 billion, or in excess of the peak World War II total. Our greatest outlays abroad are in Vietnam. Outlays in the billions of dollars also are being incurred for military installations and activities in Western Europe, and for military aid programs on other continents.
4 number of devices are available to prevent a, decline in reported gold reserves, These devices have included the so-called Roosa bonds, obli- gations of the Treasury issued to foreign holders and payable in grains of fine gold. These bonds are of both short-term and long-term maturity, and some already issued will maiure over the next few months. In ἃ recent interview, Robert Roosa, Under Secretary of the Treasury when these bonds were first issued, expressed concern over the future of the dollar, mentioning that continuance of the Vietnam war alone is involving a dollar gold drain on the order of $2 billion per annum.

Proposals have been made to suspend by law the 25% gold reserve requirement, There has been no progress yet in such legislation, nor is the legislation a necessity, as the Federal Reserve already has conditional authority to go below the 25% ratio, Those economists, bankers and businessmen who are opposed to removal of the 25% gold reserve requirement offer a variety of reasons. Perhaps the principal reason expressed is that in the chilling light of monetary history there is more reason to trust a definite legal promise than to rest on a broad faith in one's government. An added point, made by some, is that for a country with foreign trade as large as that of the United States ἃ reserve in the area of the legal $10.4 billion could be regarded as a minimum working figure to preserve freedom of action.
if the $35 ceiling price of gold were to end, how would this come about? The answer could be simple, although the event would have serious complexities. Tf past precedent gives 4 clue, a series of official denials of any change would at some point be succeeded by an official recognition of "force majeure" ~- 4 recognition that further sales of gold at $35 per ounce would no longer be prudent. With the United States withdrawing as ἃ seller, presumably no other holders of gold would possess sufficient determination and sufficient quantities of gold that full demands of the Free Market would continue to be met at the established price. Forces of demand would thereupon take over, with the price rising.
Various ultimate prices for gold have been mentioned by those who expect or favor a price rise, figures ranging all the way from $70 to $105 per ounce, It is doubted that an initial move would go as high as $70. A price change could,more likely, resemble the move which took place in silver earlier this year when, in an unheralded move, the United States Treasury ceased sales of silver after a long period of fixed offerings at 81,29 per ounce. A sudden move to $1.50-$1,60 followed. A later series of fluctuations has brought silver to a present level above $2. The price of silver has not yet stabilized.
Following a final determination of a new gold price not only by open market forces but by negotiations among principal banks, a new price could be adopted for all currencies. With the United States representing the world's strongest economy, presumably other currencies would at least proportionately go along with any change in the gold price of the dollar. A pattern of stabilization could follow.
If the price of gold were actually to double, this would bring a gold profit to central banks, on the order of $40 billion. Correspondingly, there would be a $40 billion increase in the stated gold reserves of these banks, supplemented by some return of gold from private investment. An increase in reserves would technically result in an increase in lending capacity, and, theoretically, it would also result in a declining tendency of interest rates = rather than the advancing tendency which most people think of when confronted with thoughts of currency devaluation,

The persistent increase in international demand for gold offers obvious
aspects of a "run on the bank". When such a run is taking place, literally "mo one can predict whether or not it will be stemmed --or the timing of events
involved. Should gold increase in price, major beneficiaries would be the gold producers of the world, Following an‘interim period of difficulty and confusion, the central banks of the world could be beneficiaries, also, through registering a profit on their holdings of gold. To the degree that these holdings are reduced by previous sales made to preserve stability of the price of-gold, the eventual profit, should the price of gold advance, would be reduced. “
Some economists who deplore the continuing role of gold as an impartial economic arbitrator have suggested that the United States end its $35 bid. In their opinion, such action would remove a prop to gold, perhaps resulting in a large price decline. Other economists consider this view unrealistic, allowing that the United States has been on balance a seller of gold, not a buyer, for some 18 years. Therefore a cessation of bidding on our part would not necessarily be influential in a world where gold has been retaining its widespread acceptance as a store of value.
There is little indication that the United States will apply, as it and many other countries did in the 1920's and 1930's, severe austerity measures in defense of the established monetary price of gold. No longer is it in political fashion to adopt such severe measures - as Britain recently showed in its eventually ineffective defense of the exchange value of the pound.
The foregoing considerations may provide a partial explanation of how, despite a background of political and financial uncertainty, the New York stock market has retained composure. Investors know that selected stocks do provide long-term inflation protection, They also know that resolution of a gold crisis generally involves a downward adjustment of interest rates which now, in many categories, are at record levels. Thus, in the context of a gold crisis, it is conceivable that wo aro now witnessing a historle turning podat dm dtetome 0 equities, also in long-term bonds.

At 7:11 pm. ,/ chet oHed subject and his wife exited the SMUN and entered the garage underneath the SMUN. At 7:28 p.m., he drove out of the garage with his wife and was next observed returning to the SMUN at 10:02 p.m.
FBI Laboratory personnel in the area of the SOLO subject's residence were monitoring a television set and taped two signals believed to be transmitted by TALANOV at 9:07 p.m. The signals were of approximately one to two seconds duration and about three to four seconds apart.

on 2/9/68, the tape of the signal transmission was demonstrated to appropriate personnel in the NYO handling matters relating to the SOLO and TALANOV operations.
The Bureau is well aware of the intricacies of Soviet communications with their agents and the sophisticated techniques:‘developed in this operation are an example of the latest Soviet developments in this féld which. are making our job much more difficult. The NYO feels that the success achieved in taping the signal on the evening of 2/8/68, materially assisted us in our investigative endeavors con- cerning the penetration of Soviet espionage. Although by no means solving the problem of such a sophisticated technique, as that set forth above, it is felt that the knowledge gained by the personnel handling such investigations in having viewed a "working example" of the signaling device οὐ ἃ television set. will be extremely valuable in tthe future.
. The NYO is most appreciative of the efforts of the FBI Laboratory in assisting us with our endeavors to penetrate the Soviet espionage apparatus in the US.

ReBuairtel 2/7/68 requesting the observations ἃ of the Chicago Office concerning the following facets
of the Solo operation, The Bureau expressed concern
over the minimal progress being made toward increasing the functioning parts of the Solo apparatus and contem-
so that it can function with the demise of one or both
ῷ plates but two alternatives: to develop the apparatus
of these informants; or to terminate the operations
in
order to capitalize on its exposure through publicity
and/or testimony.
The following observations are presented for the consideration of the Bureau in arriving at a decision in this matter, First of all, at the Solo conference held at SOG in 7/67, it was expressed by those present that the apparatus segment of the Solo operation was then totally dependent upon the operations of NY 694-S* who in his current state of health is actually unable physi-
cally to perform the varied tasks expected of him,

CG 134-46 Sub B |
agreed at the conference that a living, breathing apparatus : must be constructed so that security precautions of the | Russians would not expose the true status of NY 694-S* as
an agent of the U.S. Thus the development of additional
help for NY 694-S* and their acceptance by NY 694-S* was agreed to be of prime importance, Since the survival of
the entire Solo operation is dependent upon the Solo apparatus, this of course highlights our dependence upon NY 694-S* whose health is now failing. Granted the validity of these premises, it does not follow that the Russians would be made cognizant of the extent of the functioning in the apparatus of these additional individuals being used in the Solo apparatus,
Implicit in this conclusion must be a recognition that adding to the functioning parts of the Solo apparatus (as viewed by the Russians) is not a function dependent solely upon actions of the FBI or of the informants. Before additions to the Solo apparatus are permitted to become "functioning parts," they must first be accepted by GUS HALL and then personally passed upon by the Russians themselves. Even then, we see little likelihood that the Russians will permit any individual to become a "functioning part” of the Solo apparatus so long as they have two trusted individuais like the Solo informants doing what they must consider an outstanding job for them, The Russians have repeatedly cautioned that the knowledge of this operation must be confined to only three individuals in the CP, USA: GUS HALL and the two Solo informants, NY 694-5* and CG 5824-S* have over the years implied to the Russians that they have provided for reserves in the event anything should happen to either one of them, bet the first time the Russians had an idea that NY 694-S5* was using one of his other men aS a countersurveillance the Russians immediately ordered that that practice must be discontinued, They have repeatedly contended that the secrecy of this operation must be jealously guarded,
This office considers the progress of the New York Office in providing actual reserves for the Solo apparatus as more than minimal, It is our_belief that the development | IID of such informants as NY 4309-5 ' bodes well for their future use in the event of the total incapacitation of the New York Solo informant, It is granted that none of these informants can actually be considered as a replacement at this time for NY 694-S*, but no informant will be a replacement until such time as NY 694-5* ceases to function,
CG 134-46 Sub B
The discussion thus far has been Limited to con- Sideration of development of additional personnel to flesh out the apparatus part of Solo (that is, the operation re- volving around NY 694-S*) to the exclusion of CG 5824-5S*,
It will be recalled that it was the decision of the Solo conference that from the standpoint of the FBI this opera- tion would be henceforth pursued as an intelligence opera- tion of the FBI and that any consideration of prosecutive possibilities would be purely secondary. As ἃ matter of fact, it was this conclusion upon which was based the decision to permit the New York Office to discontinue the laborious recording of serial numbers of changed Solo money. The value of the international information developed by
CG 5824-S* was clearly minimized, although great emphasis was also placed upon the value of CG 5824-S* as a high-level domestic informant, Value to the FBI derived from the Solo operation clearly reposed in the current penetration of KGB operations in the 0.5. and the potential for greater pene- tration which could be derived through exploitation of the apparatus functions of this operation. This being true, the development of a high-level CP, USA functionary informant
of the caliber of CG 5824-S* assumes a new light and will be treated separately and not in the context of the present discussion,
The aiternatives presented in ReBuairtel are closely connected to a consideration of the above subject, The first alternative presented actually contains a number of additional alternatives, for we must consider what cir- cumstances we will face with the demise of one or both of the current Solo informants, The first alternative would be the death of CG 5824-S*, In light of the fact that it was unanimously agreed at the Solo conference that the real value of Solo resides in the New York Solo apparatus, then the death of CG 5824~8*#, while certainly the loss of a most valuable informant, is not also fatal to the Solo operation,
The second alternative, the death of NY 694~5*,
ther circumstances: whether NY 4309-S, | 975 “has been accepted by the Russians ἊΝ as a bona 1166 reserve or not, If one of these informants 7
has been accepted, then the Solo apparatus will continue
as before; if not, then CG 5824-S*, the nominal head of the apparatus (though this is not true in practice), will remain and will be in a position to either direct the choice of
NY 694-S*"s successor or to control his successor,
ὌΝ
Φ Φ
CG 134-46 Sub B
Only under conditions of the third alternative, the death of both Solo informants (and the coincident factor that none of the New York informants has been accepted as a bona fide reserve) does the situation appear bleak, This is the situation which we are trying to avert and which the New York Office seems close to remedying with the development of the informants named above,
ReBuairtel requested specific consideration of the effect a request to testify would have on stimulating the informants’ activities toward the development of addi- tional personnel for the apparatus, It is the opinion of this office that such a request of CG 5824-S* could only have a most damaging effect, This informant is convinced that the Solo operation is an intelligence operation of paramount importance and value for which he has been willing to risk his life many times over, While we are exerting every effort to insure its continuance even after his death, he is convinced that we must milk it for all it is worth to the very end while continuing those efforts, To be sure, concern for his personal safety may also be a factor in his thinking on the subject of testimony in this matter, It has long been the position of this informant that he would be willing to testify only under the conditions of grave national danger of a nature which does not exist at this juncture, The informant is likely to consider such a request at this time as a threat rather than an actual need for testimony in the interests of national security. It can only be concluded under the conditions of the informant's present thinking that such a request would result in a cur- tailment of the cooperation which we seek from this informant,
The Chicago Office is continuing to bend every effort to accomplish the successful extension of this opera- tion through the development of additional acceptable infor- mants for this program, We are as intensely concerned as is the Bureau in retaining this highly successful operation,
It is recognized and we are in agreement with the Bureau that in the past both these informants have been extremely con- servative in their efforts to develop their eventual replace- ments, However, the Chicago Office feels that although both these informants have fallen victim to various illnesses in
the past, none of these illnesses has been of a nature and
severity as to convince them that it was terminal in nature.
Recent occurrences within the informants' family, however, may
~4-
CG 134-46 Sub B
cause these informants to have second thoughts, and may have a beneficial effect upon their attitudes on this subject.
As a result of the current e j of and the sudden death of the of we feel that CG 5824-S* may we 6 more favorably disposed
toward more active assistance in the selection of possible reserves to be used as replacements for these informants
in the event of their deaths, The Chicago Office will con- tinue to press this program as vigorously as possible,

The Bureau will note that as of this time we are unable to determine with certainty whether or not CG 5824-S* will actually depart on this mission, However, in order to give the Bureau sufficient time to consider this request, set forth hereinafter is a request for an advance of funds for CG 5824-5* based upon the contingency that he does actually undertake this mission,

As noted in our previous communications, CG 5824-§* ς is not desirous of traveling to this meeting as a consequence } }.
of his own physical limitations and because of the recent ly TD hospitalization of fo who is extremely 111,
Nevertheless, as set out in reCGairtel 2/5/68, circumstances may be such as to make it desirable that he undertake this mission. The Bureau will recall that up until now the CP
of the Soviet Union has not communicated to the CP, USA the amount of the CP of the Soviet Union subsidy for the support of the CP, USA for the year 1968, GUS HALL, General Secretary CP, USA, has become quite impatient over this delay and may very well demand that CG 5824-S* travel not only to Budapest but also to either Pragues Moscow to obtain 6963 to

this question, in order to preserve the usefulness of the Solo apparatus to HALL, CG 5824-8" may be required to make this trip. Furthermore, regardless of the necessity of obtaining the answer to the question raised above, we are well aware of the unreasonabledemands that HALL on occasion makes of these informants, and it may occur that HALL will demand the informant's presence in Budapest even if the above answer has already been received, In such an ovent, in order to maintain the close relationship and position
of complete trust which HALL reposes in the Solo informants, it would appear to our benefit to accede to HALL's demands and authorize CG 5824-S* to undertake this mission,
It is also noted that GUS HALL has informed the ΟΡ of the Soviet Union and the Hungarian Socialist Workers Party that he will be accompanied by his wife, ELIZABETH HALL. We have seen in the past that ELIZABETH HALL, when traveling, has requested and almost demanded that CG 6653-5 accompany her on such a trip. In view of the personal acquaintance of CG 6653~S with many of the leadinz personalities of the world comaunist movement and the fact that she is willing to act as almost a personal “lady-in-waiting" for the wife of the General Secretary of the CP, USA, ELIZABETH HALL is most anxious that CG 6653-S accompany her. It is not known at this time whether ELIZABETH HALL will make such a demand on this occasion, especially in view of the illness of (although the HALLS are not aware of its seriousness), nor whether the informants will accede to this demand, but provision is made for this eventuality in the itemized request set forth below.
In the event CG 5824-S* and perhaps CG 6653-S embark upon Solo Mission 25, the following expenses will be entailed:
CG 5824-S* alone CG 5824-8" and
CG 6653-5 Round trip first class air fare between Chicago and Boston Ὦ 127,79 § 255,58 Round trip first clags air fare between Boston and Prague 834,70 1,669,40

CG 5824-S* can reclaim from

$ 759.99 $1,269.98
Therefore, in the event CG 5824-S* is instructed by GUS HALL to undertake Solo Mission 25, the Bureau is requested to authorize an alvance of funds to CG 5824-S* for the expenses of this travel in the amount of $759.99, In the event he must be accompanied by CG 6653-S, the Bureau is requested to authorize an advance of funds for the expenses of this travel in the amount of $1,269.98,
In addition, since CG 5824-S*, if he takes this trip, would be departing sometime prior to 2/25/68, the Bureau is requested to authorize advance payment for services and expenses to CG 5824-S* through 3/15/68 by which time he should certainly have returned, This would entail an advance of one month’s payment
$
CG 134-46 Sub B
amounting to $1,500, This advance payment is requested inasmuch as although CG 8824-8* would be out of the country during this time, the normal expenses for him and his wife would continue,
The Bureau is requested to give this request expeditious attention since travel arrangements may have to be made, if this travel materializes, by 2/20/68.
In the event CG 5824-S* departs on Solo Mission 25 from a location other than Chicago, Bureau authority 15 requested for SA WALTER A, BOYLE, eontacting agent, to proceed to the point of departure, The presence of SA BOYLE is necessary in order to handle any last minute items of information which the informant may obtain and in order to thoroughly prepare the informant for covert travel, including checking the informant completely for suit labels, unconcealied documents, identifying data, etc,
In the event CG 5324-S* must travel to NYC for last minute consultations with GUS HALL just prior to departure on this mission, the anticipated point of departure would be Boston, Mass., in which event the following would be the expenses entailed in the travel of SA BOYLE:
Round trip coach air fare

On 2/12/68 CG 5824-S* advised that on 2/6/68 he had met with HALL in NYC and New Haven, Connecticut, and HALL had stated that his plans now call for his de~ L’ parture for Budapest on 2/22/68, As of that date, he i. was still attempting to obtain airline tickets for that date,

to carry this medicine out of the country, Therefore, it
was decided that this medicine, Cedilanid, should be carried by DAN RUBIN, CP, USA Organizatien Secretary, who is expected to go to the USSR for medical treatment after attending the Budapest meeting,
During these discussions, HALL again asked the informant whether the informant would make the trip to Budapest. CG 5824-S* replied that his status remained as previously reported. HALL stated that since he would not be departing himself until 2/22/68, he would expect to see CG 5824-S* in NYC about 2/19/68 at which time they should try to make a definite decision on this matter,

New York noted that the Soviets are the main obstacle to the attaining of our gornl. Tho Buresu agrees that it will be necessary to change Soviet thinking with regard to the need for replacements. However, it appears that at this stage we should be thinking of assistants rather than replacemants., In this rogard, New York and Chicago should subsit concrete propostles as to how this can he accomplished without jeopardizing the security of the operation within two weeks of the date of this communication.
New York airtel of 2/16/68 indicated that a που τον of active and formerly active informant files was being made to find those with the best potential to be Utilized in the laundry proposed by the Soviets as ἃ potential drop. Since CG 5824-S* hag been instructed to york through Irving Potash, it wild be necessary to con~ ditson Potash's thinking to mike our selections palatable to him. In reporting the results of this survey, New York should include its comments and observations as to how this can be accomplished. There should be no delay in the gubmission of this material.
New York and Chicago should also subunit their opservations with regard to the financing of the laundry. Since the laundry ia boing established on the instructions of the Soviets, New York and Chicago should advise the extent to which it is believed Solo funds could be used to pay one of our informants to operate it.

ReBuairtel to New York dated 2/7/68, cc Chicago, particularly that part thereof reflecting the necessity of the Bureau's completely controlling the personnel of the laundry or gift shop to be utilized as a drop or cut-out for the transfer of funds from the Soviets to the CPUSA.
As the Bureau is aware, CG 5824~s*, as a result of conferences in Moscow regarding theestablishment of a | laundry or gift shop, and pursuant to instructions from () GUS HALL, assigned IRVING POTASH, a highly trusted CPUSA \ funetionary, to find a proper person tocperate the proposed laundry or gift shop. As has been known to the Bureau, New
York and Chicago, POTASH, ov iod, has been

[operate the contemplated business. In this regard, no In TC objection previously has been made to this procedure.
CG 5824-s* and NY 694-S* are super-sensitive to real or imaginary security hazards. They always feel that to recommend to the Party or the Soviets anyone hand-picked by the Bureau could be a boomerang should the person subsequently be exposed as an informant. The NYO in the past has conducted exhaustive surveys to choose informants / whom CG 5824-s* or NY 694-S* might recommend to the Party and the Soviets, but, for various reasons, these informants were not approved by CG 5824-S* and NY 694-s*. ij ™ Fug Fy

So far as the NYO analyzes the situation, by reason of GUS HALL's instructions, CG 5824-S* was committed (and still is committed) to utilize POTASH for the purpose of choosing personnel for the laundry or gift shop. The NYO further was of the opinion--and still is as a result of the conference with CG 5824-S* when he was in New York a few days ago--that there would be no loss of control of this laundry or gift shop operation by reason of its being managed by Party~-chosen personnel.
When this subject of control was discussed with CG 5824-s* subsequently to receipt of the reBuairtel, he stated that the Soviet intention is that the laundry be merely a cut-out to insure the security of the SOLO operation, and that the personnel (in his opinion, only one individual) is to make deliveries only to him or NY 694-S*.
The Soviets, he said, are most concerned lest anyone other than he, HALL, or NY 694-S* become aware of the transfer of money by the Soviets to the CPUSA. In view of these facts, CG 582h-s* feels that he and NY 694-S*, and hence the Bureau, will continue to control the situation, despite the fact that a Party-chosen individual might operate the business.
CG 5824-S* was informed that we require complete control of the laundry personnel--to the extent that the operator of the laundry must be of our choosing. CG 5824-s* pointed out that he cannot arbitrarily disregard HALL's instructions with respect to hoW the laundry operator should be chosen. He said that to circumvent HALL's instructions, he would have to find adequate reason why any individual approved by the Party should not operate the laundry. The possibility exists, he said,that even the Party may not be able to choose an individual acceptable to the Soviets.
To comply with instructions that a means be found to insure that the contemplated laundry will be completely controlled by the Bureau, the NYO currently is reviewing the packground of all active and formerly active security informants, in order to find those with the best potential. Reports concerning this review will be submitted pursuant to Bureau instructions.

of an ‘automobile accident, which, until he is fully recovered, will impair the use of one of his legs. He realizes the physical strains that he must endure in performing many of the tasks incident to his operation. Both informants realize that advancing age will not make the physical requirements of their operations less onerous.
Both informants, in conversations with Agents of the NYO, have indicated that they now would welcome any assistance they could receive in their operations, and are more than anxious that potential replacements be activated. This leads to the question whether a request to testify would stimulate the informants activities toward the development of additional personnel for the apparatus. In the light of the foregoing, with respect to their current attitude, to inject at this time the issue of ἃ request to testify is, in the opinion of the NYO, tantamount to "carrying coals to Newcastle." To hold over their heads now the “sword of Damocles" to stimulate their further developing replacements is, in the opinion of the NYO, presently unnecessary and also potentially catastrophic from the standpoint of achieving our objectives.
Over the years, these informants have been assured that only in the event of what might be a national crisis would they be called upon to testify. They have indicated from the beginning of this operation that they do not wish to testify. They feel, egotistically perhaps, that the S@L0 operation is of such paramount importance to the national security, that, in the absence of a national crisis, to surface it would be unthinkable. They both think in terms of this operation's continuing beyond the day when they personally will no longer be actively part of it. NY 694-S*, on occasion, has expressed the desire to continue to "master-mind"” the SOL#* operation even though his physical ailments eventually might preclude his active participation in all phases of it.
To suggest surfacing the SOLO operation conceivably could result in our antagonizing the informants to the point where we should have on our hands hostile witnesses. Even with the informants as friendly witnesses, to surface this operation would present tremendous obstacles, as the Bureau has noted.

From the standpoint, therefore, of raising the issue of testimony with a view to stimulating the informants’ activities toward the development of additional personnel for the apparatus, the issue, in the opinion of the NYO, is at this time academic.
The heart of the problem is the matter of further
activating the replacements that we have. We have been prone to hold the informants responsible for failure to activate these individuals, but, actually, they, as well
as we, are on the horns of a dilemma. The real obstacle is the Soviets, who as yet do not want activation of replacements to the degree where such replacements may become privy to the essentials of the SOLO operation. The Soviets repeatedly have stressed the point that to extend the number of individuals cognizant of the SOLO operation constitutes a definite threat to the Soviet operation. To date, they adamantly oppose extending the inner circle of the SOLO operation beyond
GUS HALL, CG 5824-S* and Ny 694-S*, When CG 5624~S* was last jn Moscow, the Soviet "spy-master"--MIKHAIL POLONIK-~vehemently objected when he received the impression that NY 4309-S* was active in SOLO operations not specifically authorized by the oviets.
As ἃ condition precedent to NY 4309-S*'s further activation beyond receiving Soviet ciphered radio messages, the Soviets are demanding that he go to Moscow for training for approximately three months. Even if he should go, this does not necessarily mean that, while CG 5824-S* and NY 694~s* remain active in this operation, NY 4309-S* would be activated in the full sense of the word, that is, that he would be authorized to handle money operations, and be given the key to codes and ciphers.
From the Soviet intelligence standpoint, their attitude is logical: When one of two people sharing a secret divulges it to a third person, it no longer is a secret. What therefore is our position in this matter? To borrow a gimile from baseball language, we are like a farm-team manager with excellent players, who will go to the major league team not when the farm-team manager is disposed to send them there, put rather when the major league team manager decides to summon them. Tf the farm-team manager is sufficiently convincing, he
ΠΝ ᾿ te
pee aa . 32° ; ᾿
τοῤ σάν
NO FOREIGN DISSEMINATION NY 100-134637 Ng | Anes ῃ
might be able to persuade the major league team manager of the immediate necessity of activating a farm~-team player.
The crux of the problem, therefore, would seem to be that through the informants we must change the Soviet thinking with respect to the immediate need of completely activating our replacements. Perhaps the time is opportune to do this, in that NY 694-S*'s recent ‘accident well might have resulted in his death, as ἃ result of which there could have been a serious breakdown in the SOLO apparatus. CG 5824~S*'s scheduled visit to Moscow within the next few days might present the opportunity for him to "sell" this idea to the Soviets.
A particularly disturbing situation with respect to the activation of NY 4309-S* is his continued reluctance to go to Moscow pursuant to Soviet instructions. During a conference with NYO Agents on 2/15/68, he expressed willingness to be activated in facets of the SOLO operation, except that he stated that he did not want to go behind the iron curtain. His paramount objection ostensibly is fear for his personal safety. There still remains in his mind the fact that his father, who had gone to the Soviet Union many years ago, ami never returned, and also the suspicion that the Soviet report of recent years that his father had died a natural death is not true,
He feels that NY 694-S*, and the Soviets, have a definite need for his services, particularly now, when, by reason of illness, NY 694~S* is limited in his activities.
He expressed the opinion that whatever further training or indoctrination he might need could be given to him in the USA-- if his services are essential to the Soviet operations.
He is also concerned about his financial future, in that complete activation in our operation might require his abandoning his present position, which guarantees him 8 comfortable livelihood and future social security benefits. Without becoming specific, the NYO has indicated to him that he would suffer no financial loss as a result of his complete activation in our operation.

BACKGROUND : ΝΞ

You will recall that Gus Hall, General Secretary, Communist Party, USA, advised the Soviets that CG 5824~s* would be an ex officio member of the Party's delegation to the international communist conference to be held in Budapest, Hungary, 2/29/68. This is a meeting of tremendous importance to the international communist movement, for it is here that the Soviets plan to make preparations for a subsequent meeting which will force Red China out of the international communist movement, As far as we know, CG 5824-5* is thronly source of the United States who will attend this meeting. f Since the Soviets have not yet set the subsidy to ;. ibe paid the Communist Party, USA, in 1968, Hall wants the- ‘informant to go abroad to get a firm commitment at this time. Today, the Soviets advised Hall that the answer on the subsidy will be given our informant when he arrivegEin' Budapest. If the source does not travel as ordered, the usefulness of the Solo Operation to Hall is in jeopardy. Thig could eauseshim to dispense with it. Although | reluctant to travel abroad again

accompany him to the meeting in Budapest, we can expect that, as in the past, she will demand that CG 6653-S (CG 5824-S*'s wife) accompany her as a "lady in waiting.”
While exact details are to be determined at a conference between Hall and the informant on 2/19/68, the informant will have to depart prior to 2/25/68, Therefore, as in the past, Chicago has requested the Bureau's authority to advance funds for travel expenses to the informant. In view of the time element and the uncertainty of final arrangements, the requests are in alternatives as set out below.
If the informant travels alone, authority is requested for $759.99. If the informant is ordered to take his wife, authority is requested for an advance of $1,269.98, This is half of the actual cost involved in both cases * Chicago also requests authority to advance one month's payment for services and expenses to the informant prior to departure, *(Party funds will cover the other half.)
If the informant departs from a location other than Chicago, Chicago requested, and we concur, that Special Agent Walter A. Boyle, contacting Agent, proceed to the point of departure to handle last minute items of intelligence informant may develop and to thoroughly prepare informant for covert travel,
OBSERVATION:
ΤῈ this Operation is to continue, these expenses are essential. Attached is an airtel to Chicago authorizing expenses to be advanced, depending upon the circumstances. An itemized list of expenses will be submitted upon the jnformant's return,

CG 5824-S* replied that the Party hoped that the FBI would not be on to this store, but he would give no guarantees. POTASH then asked CG 5824-S* if someone would be coming into this shop to pick up mail or bundles, CG 5824-S* replied that this was possible although it would not happen too often,
CG 5824-S* instructed POTASH to go back to| and get more details concerning his past activities, e to POTASH he would see POTASH again in a few weeks and obtain these additional details, CG 5824-S* told POTASH that he did
not want i something unexpected; for example, POTASH

On February 20-21, 1968, CG 5824-S* furnished \ the following information concerning discussions with GUS 4 HALL relative to the current Solo Mission:
GUS HALL instructed CG 5824-S* that while on this mission he should contact individuals in charge of finances at the "World Marxist Review" in Prague, Czechoslovakia. According to HALL, the magazine owes the CP, USA just under $4,000 for the mailing of the "World Marxist Review" in the U.S, during 1967, The cost of this mailing is $325 a month and this has been increased by $50 per month because of the rise in postage rates,
HALL stated that he, himself, would leave the U.S. | on February 28, 1968, en route to Amsterdam, The Netherlands,: | He would spend just a couple of heurs in Amsterdam before a leaving for Budapest, Hungary, where he would attend the } Consultative Meeting of Communist and Workers Parties scheduled to begin February 26, 1968. Upon his arrival in Budapest, HALL would inform the Party there that CG 5824~5* would follow soon behind him and would furnish them the name under which the informant is traveling.
HALL then complained about the treatment he and the other members of the CP, USA delegation to Budapest had been received from the Hungarians at their UN Mission in New York City. HALL had sent JOE BRANDT to the UN Mission to pick up visas for the delegation, Instead of complying immediately, the Hungarians had sent BRANDT back to get photographs of the delegates and gave him long forms to be filled out "Just Iikelia’:bunch of tourists."

at the Mission had complained to BRANDT about the fact that HALL never comes to the UN Mission himself but sends a mes-~ senger instead. HALL said that he sent back word that he did not intend to go to the Mission because of the way they treat CP, USA members he has sent there and because of the number of defectors they have had from Hungarian establish- ments in the U.S. HALL stated that if the Hungarians want to see him, they can come to see him at his office.
HALL stated further that he wanted CG 5824-S* to be aware of a discovery which he had made but which he had earlier told only to HENRY WINSTON, When HALL had collected the passports to send to the Hungarian UN Mission for visas, he had leafed through the passport belonging to JIM JACKSON. He was surprised to see in JACKSON's passport a visa and entry and exit stamps for Argentina, (HALL did not give the dates.) HALL stated that he and WINSTON believe JACKSON went to Argen- tina to see MARIA (LNU) who had attended the CP, USA Convention in June, 1966, along with PABLO NERUDA, the Chilean poet, This woman is also a member of the Chilean Parliament. HALL stated he was "flabbergasted," and JACKSON's activities have worried HALL a great deal.
HALL then inquired concerning the outcome of promises made to the CPs of Panama and Haiti that the CP, USA would fur- nish them with financial assistance. CG 5824-S* informed HALL that nothing had been done about it. HENRY WINSTON had made these promises and HALL had been furnished notes on this subject by CG 5824-S*, HALL indicated he would therefore take some funds with him in order to give about $500 to the Haitians and a sufficient amount to the Panamanians for them to purchase a couple of mimeograph machines,
HALL aliso stated that ARNOLD JOHNSON had not yet completed his task of gathering information concerning the individuals working on a number of left or progressive publica- tions which had been previously requested by the CP of the Soviet Union, HALL stated that he expected JOHNSON to complete this task shortly and that he, hirnself, would bring these "biographies" with him to Budapest to furnish to the CP of the Soviet Union delegates.

By reNYairtel the Bureau was furnished the text of a message from the Communist Party, USA (CP, USA) to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) in which ite » at was requested that DANIEL RUBIN, Organization Secretary Al of the CP, USA, be invited to the USSR for medical treat- [4 ment following his attendance at the Consultative Meeting of Communist and Workers Parties in Budapest, Hungary. GUS HALL, General Secretary, CP, USA, advised CG 5824-5* that he had received an answer from the CPSU inviting RUBIN as requested,
ReNYairtel also furnished the text of a message from the CP, USA to the CPSU concerning the recommendation
of the CP, USA din r e to a previous request from the CPSU) that now in Cuba, would make a capable Marxist-Leninist stylist and translator. HALL advised
CG 5824-S* that he had received an answer from the CPSU in which it was agreed that Should come to the USSR to IC
in the above capacity. LL did not indicate whether ἃ be so informed by the CPSU or the CP, USA, nor OW

Concerning the manner in which these answers were received, HALL stated that these messages were en- trusted to CARL WINTER, Editor of "The Worker," by the Soviets. CG 5824-S* surmised that either WINTER went to see the Russians at Tass or the UN Mission or the Russians from either of these establishments came to see WINTER at "The Worker." HALL expressed some anger at WINTER because, upon receiving these messages, WINTER had gone directly to RUBIN with the invitations instead of delivering them to HALL. It was HALL's opinion that WINTER did this in order to show off the good contacts he has.
CG 5824-S* expressed no alarm that another channel had been used to deliver these messages, According to CG 5824-S*, the Russians are carrying through on their mandate that only the most confidential and urgent matters are to be handled through the 8 ratus. Such matters as the invitations to RUBIN ond ee whose travel to the USSR will become public knowledge eventually, does not fall within the category of secret and urgent matters, Therefore, the Russians chose a more open or legal manner of communicating with the CP, USA.

To recommend that Special Agent Walter A. Boyle, contacting Agent for CG 5824-S*, be authorized to proceed to point of arrival of informant into the U. 5, as soon as it is known to expedite debriefing of informant.
BACKGROUND :
CG 5824-S* departed on Solo Mission 25 2/21/68. The purpose of this mission was to participate in the inter- national conference of communist parties held in Budapest, Hungary, starting 2/29/68, Informant served as an ex-officio member of the Comnaunist Party, USA, delegation. In addition to participating in this conference, informant received instructions from Gus Hall, General Secretary, Communist Party, USA, to finalize details on the amount of the Soviet subsidy tothe Communist Party, USA, for 1968. Intelligence data developed by our informant at this conference should be ata of extreme interest to top officials of our Government, In view of the importance of these matters, intensive debriefing j of the informant should be initiated immediately upon his arrival in the Ὁ, 5, Informant must spend some time briefing i top Party leaders as soon as his presence in the U. 8. is known to the Party. This could cause an unnecessary delay in obtaining the intelligence data in his possession if we do not contact him first.
As in the past, Chicago has recommended, and we concur, that Special Agent Boyle should meet the informant at his point of arrival, as soon as it is known, to extract highlights of his trip as expeditiously as possible. It is

believed informant will arrive in Boston, Massachusetts, in the near future. Informant can be debriefed in a secure manner in Boston before he reports to the Party leadership in New York City. Estimated cost involved is $204.79.
OBSERVATION :
In view of the importance of the intelligence information the informant should bring back, it is believed judicious to have Special Agent Boyle meet the informant at his point of arrival to expeditiously debrief him. Special Agent Boyle is completely familiar with the names, places, and events in the international communist movement and has, in the past, greatly facilitated the debriefing of the informant because of this knowledge. He will not depart for the informant's point of entry until specific information is received concerning the informant's date of arrival.
Attached is an airtel to Chicago authorizing Special Agent Boyle to proceed to the informant's point of arrival as soon as it is known. RECOMMENDATION :
It is recommended that attached airtel be approved and sent, vA hs

δ ‘ReBulet 2/9/68, directing WYO to furnish WFO | with recoumendations as to how to approach the subject for development as a highelevel informant,
Specific, uncomplicated recommendations on interviewing the subject would be difficult and possibly presumptuous since one must consider the response of the subject, which is difficult to foretell,
However, there are certain facts to be considered:
(1) ‘The subject has the confidence of GUS HALL, according to CG 502h~s#, and has contacts with the personnel of the Polish Embassy,
(2) The subject, as far as can be verified, has been truthful and cooperative in his interviews with Bureau agents.
The above two steps are milestones in informant development.
Again, witho ifiec, it is felt that the next few contacts ΝΥΝ emi be on ἃ reasonable premise, such as an inquiry about GUS HALL, and should be directed toward exploring the extent and caliber of the subject's cooperation. When it is felt the subject is sufficiently cooperative (again non-specific), consideration should be given to asking him to ingratiate himself with the CP. This could take the form of a telegram of congratulations and a donation to GUS HALL on the advent of the new "Marxist daily" paper,

As the Bureau is aware, CG 5824-S* has been abroad on Solo Mission 25 since 2/21/68, The purpose of this trip is to attend the Consultative Meeting of Communist and Workers Parties currently in progress in Budapest, Hungary, and probably to visit Moscow, USSR, to obtain the decision of the CP of the Soviet Union as to the amount and delivery of the CP of the Soviet Union subsidy to the CP, USA for the year 1968, Aithough the exact length of these Solo Missions is never precisely predictable, discussions with the infor- mant prior to his departure elicited the estimate that this mission may be accomplished in about three weeks! time. Therefore, it can be anticipated that CG 5824-S* may be returning to the U.S. about 3/13/68,
While on this mission, CG 5824-S* will

it is customary for CG 5824-S* to spend some time briefing members of the CP, USA leadership in NYC, Consequently, intensive debriefing of CG 5824-S* should be initiated immediately upon his arrival in the U.S. to insure that
the Bureau has first access to the important information
in his possession without the extensive delay which might
be occasioned by awaiting his return to Chicago, In addi- tion, in order to insure completeness and accuracy of all information received from CG 5824-5*, and in order to expedite the handling and dissemination of this information in a manner most advantageous to the Government, it is considered essential that this debriefing be carried out by the contacting agent.
Therefore, the agent handling CG 5824-~5* has heen alerted and is prepared to take the necessary action for the initiation of immediate debriefing of this source. From past experience, it is believed that CG 5824-S* most likely will enter the U.S, at Boston, Mass., and after a brief stop there will probably proceed to NYC for conferences with the CP, USA leadership and with NY 694-S*, If the contacting agent proceeds to the informant's point of entry into the U.S,., discreet and secure contact will be made there, thus enabling immediate debriefing and expeditious handling of the most pertinent intelligence information in his possession, This debriefing would then continue in NYC both prior to and during the period the informant is conferring in NYC,
RECOMMENDATION
In light of the above, it is recommended that the contacting agent, SA WALTER A, BOYLE, be authorized to proceed to the informant'’s point of entry into the U.S. as soon as specific information is received as to the informant's destina- tion, If this travel is authorized, the estimated cost to the Bureau is as follows if the informant arrives at Boston and proceeds to NYC before his return to Chicago:
Jet coach air transportation from
Chicago to Boston to NYC and return $109.79
Per diem at $16 per day for approxi-
mately five days 80,00
